SOUNDBITE (English) Kevin Olsen, research fellow at University of Oxford Department of Physics: "This is one of the last hurdles we have to pass before we're able to launch humans on the SLS into space. This is exciting because we can actually see the rocket on the pad up close. Once it's achieved, we're that much closer to going back to Space and not just Space, back to the moon."

SOUNDBITE (English) Ed Kellond-Turner, Education Manager, National Space Centre, UK: "We had Artemis I a few years ago, that launched without people. We also tested the launch abort system on Artemis before we had any humans on board. So the humans that are going to be launching this year are pretty safe. They have got a way of getting out of that rocket, of aborting that rocket if anything does occur." NASA - MUST CREDIT New Orleans, Louisiana, US - July 2024 (exact date not provided) 6.

SOUNDBITE (English) Kevin Olsen, research fellow at University of Oxford Department of Physics: "With the success of this mission it demonstrates the value and capability of the space launch system as a launcher of the Orion capsule as a vehicle to take astronauts to and around the moon, and it paves the way for the next missions for Artemis III for building a space station around the Moon, for landing on the Moon and beginning to work on the moon. And this all is a stepping stone to getting people beyond the moon and sending astronauts out to Mars." NASA - MUST CREDIT ++ANIMATIONS++ ++MUTE++ 11.
