Artemis I Prelaunch KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FL - NOVEMBER 15: In this handout provided by the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), support crew for the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket with the Orion spacecraft aboard check to make sure all connections and valves remain tight at Launch Pad 39B in preparation for launch November 15, 2022, at the Kennedy Space Center, Florida. NASA's Artemis I flight test is the first integrated test of the agency's deep space exploration systems: the Orion spacecraft, SLS rocket, and supporting ground systems. Launch of the uncrewed flight is targeted for no earlier than November 16 at 1:04 a.m. EST. (Photo by Joel Kowsky/NASA via Getty Images) (NASA/Joel Kowsky/NASA via Getty Images)
