"NASA's Artemis II Mission: A Retro Rocket Journey to the Moon"
NASA is reviving its historic worm logo by painting it on the Space Launch System's solid rocket boosters for the Artemis II mission, marking the agency's first crew-bearing rocket sent to the moon in decades. The logo, originally created in 1975, features bold, minimalist worm-like letters and will also appear on the Orion spacecraft's crew module adapter. The Artemis II mission, scheduled for September 2025, will involve a crew of astronauts traveling around the Moon to confirm spacecraft systems in a real deep space environment, paving the way for future missions, including the historic first woman and first person of color to walk on the Moon's surface.
