TL;DR

NASA says Artemis 2 is on track for an April 1 liftoff from Cape Canaveral with a two-hour window and about a 20% weather risk, carrying Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch and Jeremy Hansen aboard Orion for a 10-day flight that will loop around the Moon (not land) before returning to Earth, a critical test paving the way for Artemis 3 and beyond.
