ORLANDO, Fla. – While I won’t literally voyage around the moon, my name, Jacob Langston, certainly will.

NASA is offering a unique opportunity for the public to become a part of the Artemis II mission by submitting their names. However, the clock is ticking, and the deadline is approaching fast.

If you wish to have your name included on a digital boarding pass for this historic journey, you must act by January 21, according to the space agency.

All submitted names will be stored on an SD card, which will travel aboard the Orion spacecraft during the Artemis II mission, set to launch this year.

This mission will take four astronauts—Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, and Christina Koch from NASA, along with Jeremy Hansen from the Canadian Space Agency—on a voyage around the moon. They will be the first crew to travel on the Space Launch System rocket and the Orion spacecraft as part of NASA’s Artemis program.

Artemis II marks a major step toward returning astronauts to the lunar surface and preparing for future missions to Mars.

NASA recently announced that it is preparing to roll out the Artemis II rocket and Orion spacecraft from the Vehicle Assembly Building to Launch Pad 39B at Kennedy Space Center no earlier than Jan. 17.

The four‑mile move, carried by crawler‑transporter‑2, is expected to take up to 12 hours as teams begin final integration, testing and launch rehearsals. NASA said crews have been working around the clock to close out remaining tasks ahead of rollout, though the date could shift if additional technical work or weather delays arise.
