Coverage of NASA Administrator Visit

NASA Administrator Bill Nelson participates in an interview inside the Vehicle Assembly Building during a tour and visit to the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on July 28, 2021. In view in the background is the massive core stage of the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket. The next components to be stacked on top of the rocket are the Orion stage adapter and the spacecraft as preparations for Artemis I continue. The first in an increasingly complex set of missions, Artemis I will test SLS and Orion 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.
