NASA has moved its Space Launch System rocket to the launch pad in Florida as final preparations begin for the Artemis II mission. The 98-metre-tall rocket took nearly 12 hours to travel from the assembly building to Launch Pad 39B at the Kennedy Space Center. Artemis II will carry four astronauts on a 10-day mission around the Moon, the first crewed lunar flight since 1972. NASA said final checks and a fuel test will take place next. The earliest possible launch date is February 6, with more windows expected in the coming months. (PC: BBC, X)
