The Artemis-1 rocket is rolled out from the Vehicle Assembly Building en route to Launch Pad 39B shortly after midnight at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida on November 3, 2022. - NASA officials aim to launch the massive rocket on November 14 after two previous aborted launch attempts. Artemis-1 is scheduled to journey around the far side of the Moon after launching on a mission lasting four to six weeks before returning home faster and hotter than any vessel before. The mission objectives for this first flight of the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and Orion spacecraft are to demonstrate its flight worthiness and the ability of Orion's heat shield in lunar reentry conditions. The launch and flight tests must be completed before returning astronauts to the lunar surface for the first time since 1972. (Photo by Gregg Newton / AFP)
