Artemis II: California 2nd-grader designed Zero-G Indicator
All eyes are on NASA and Kennedy Space Center where Artemis II is expected to launch on a 10-day mission to the moon -- and back. It is the latest flight test with the goal of landing humans back on the moon -- and eventually building a moon base there. NASA talked to Lucas Ye, a second-grade student from Mountain View, California, who submitted the mascot for Artemis, known as "Rise." It's known as the zero gravity indicator. When Artemis II reaches zero gravity, "Rise" will float.
