Coverage of NASA Administrator Visit

NASA Administrator Bill Nelson, second from left, tours the Launch Abort System Facility during a visit to the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on July 27, 2021. In view is the Orion spacecraft with the newly integrated launch abort system atop as preparations for Artemis I continue. The first in an increasingly complex set of missions, Artemis I will test the Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft as an integrated system prior to crewed flights to the Moon. Through Artemis, NASA will land the first woman and first person of color on the lunar surface, as well as establish a sustainable presence on and around the Moon.
