Why NASA’s Artemis II astronauts are carrying the names of 5.6 million people to the Moon
Artemis II is set to carry over 5.6 million names to the Moon, a digital archive collected through NASA’s “Send Your Name to the Moon” campaign. This initiative fosters global participation, transforming space exploration into a shared milestone. The names, stored on an SD card aboard the Orion spacecraft, represent humanity’s collective aspirations as NASA prepares for future lunar missions.
