NASA invites public to send names on 2026 lunar flyby mission

NASA is inviting the public to send their names on a lunar flyby mission in April 2026. The Artemis II mission will carry four astronauts around the Moon, not land, with names submitted by the public stored on an SD card. This mission is part of NASA's broader Artemis program, aiming to establish a lunar presence as a stepping stone for future Mars exploration.
