1. SOUNDBITE (English) Stephanie Schierholz, NASA Press Secretary:
"The first in a series of increasingly complex missions, Atermis I will be an uncrewed flight test that will provide a foundation for deep space exploration and demonstrate our committment and capability to extend human existence to the moon and on to Mars."

2. SOUNDBITE (English) Bill Nelson, NASA Administrator:
"It's a future where NASA will land the first woman and the first person of color on the moon and on these increasingly complex missions, astronauts will live and work in deep space and will develop the science and technology to send the first humans to Mars. We're going to Mars and we're going back to the moon in order to learn to live, to work, to survive. How do you keep humans alive in those hostile conditions?"

3. SOUNDBITE (English) Bill Nelson, NASA Administrator:
"It's at one height now and by Artemis IV it's going to be taller and it's going to be more powerful. And then on top of it is the spacecraft Orion. And on this mission Orion will venture farther than any spacecraft built for humans has ever flown. It will be on a mission of over a million miles to the moon and back and all kinds of orbits around the moon testing this spacecraft."

4. SOUNDBITE (English) Bhavya Lal, NASA:
"Cubesats will be testing innovative propulsion technologies, studying space weather, analyzing the effect of radiation on living organisms, one of my favorite experiments, and providing high-resolution imagery of the Earth and moon. Artemis I provides a rare opportunity for these small experiments to reach deep space destinations."

STORYLINE:
NASA held a briefing Wednesday to discuss the upcoming planned test flight of the Artemis I mission.
Artemis I is the first flight of NASA's Space Launch System vehicle and the first flight of the Orion spacecraft. The agency is targeting the launch for no earlier than August 29 for the test flight that will circle the moon before returning to Earth.
Ultimately, NASA's goal is to get humans to Mars.
"We're going to Mars and we're going back to the moon in order to learn to live, to work, to survive. How do you keep humans alive in those hostile conditions?" said NASA Administrator Bill Nelson.
