As the Artemis II mission prepared to orbit the moon, NASA officials played a special message from late former Apollo astronaut Jim Lovell who welcomed the crew to "my old neighborhood." Lovell was part of the Apollo 8 and 13 missions and was one of the first astronauts to see the far side of the moon. He recorded today's message in August of 2025 a few months before his death. #nasa #ArtemisII #JimLovell #Apollo
