Some claimed that they were ready to go to the Moon. Several wrote that they were excited to be ‘virtual astronauts’. Some even asked if they could leave their names on Earth and go to the Moon themselves. “Let’s hope the 3 million name USB doesn’t end up on a galactic mailing list to receive spam from aliens,” joked one user. “I sent my boyfriend to the moon. That was easy!” another wrote. Here are some other reactions: The Artemis I mission aims to test NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) rocket, ground systems at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida’s Cape Canaveral, and the Orbit spacecraft.
