NASA's Artemis II rocket and its four-person crew are preparing for a launch date in April, with engineers aiming to begin rolling the rocket and Orion spacecraft to Launch Pad 39B at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The journey will be carried by a crawler-transporter 2 and will be broadcast on NASA's You Tube channel. The Artemis II crew has entered quarantine in Houston, where they will limit their exposure to others for the next week before flying to Kennedy about five days before launch.
