"NASA's Mobile Launcher Advances for Artemis II: A Roadmap to the Future"
TL;DR
NASA's mobile launch platform, which was repaired and upgraded after sustaining more damage than expected during the Artemis I mission, has been moved back to its launch pad at the Kennedy Space Center in preparation for Artemis II—the Moon program's first flight with astronauts. The platform will undergo testing for about four months before the stacking of the Space Launch System Moon rocket. The Artemis II mission, scheduled for launch in 2024 or 2025, will carry four astronauts on a loop around the far side of the Moon, setting the stage for future lunar missions and the construction of a mini-space station called Gateway.
