NASA targets March 6 for four-astronaut Artemis II moon mission

NASA has set a preliminary launch date of March 6 for the Artemis II mission, which will send four astronauts around the moon and back. The announcement follows a successful 50-hour 'Wet Dress Rehearsal' that overcame previous hydrogen leak issues, fueling the Space Launch System rocket with 730,000 gallons of propellant. Agency officials cautioned that while the second rehearsal was a 'big step,' remaining readiness reviews and flight system tests could still adjust the final liftoff window.
