The largest section of the rocket for the Artemis III mission arrived at the Kennedy Space Center in Merritt Island, Florida, on Monday, according to NASA. The 212-foot-long Space Launch System (SLS) core stage was manufactured at NASA's Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans before traveling 900 miles aboard a barge to the space center, where the complete assembly will take place.
The track cut off just one minute in, right before the iconic chorus, prompting playful disappointment from Commander Reid Wiseman, who joked that the crew had been 'eagerly awaiting' the best part.
