'It's been going really well,' NASA says while outlining plans ahead of Artemis II mission

NASA officials on Tuesday outlined final preparations for the Artemis II mission during a pre-launch news conference at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. NASA said it has completed major testing, adding that there are no major technical obstacles remaining before launch. "Our team has been working amazingly hard through these weeks and months, trying to get this vehicle ready to where it is," Jeff Spaulding, who is one of two senior NASA test directors with the Exploration Ground Systems (EGS) program, said during the briefing. "We've had some challenges. The team has done an outstanding job managing each and every one of those throughout all of this, through many different scenarios, through weather or through lots of different things that we've had to work through to try to get through all of this and get to where we are today," he added.
