Live coverage: NASA to roll its SLS rocket back to the launch pad ahead of planned April flight of Artemis 2

NASA's Moon rocket began heading back to the launch pad after repairs inside the cavernous Vehicle Assembly Building at the Kennedy Space Center. The 322-foot-tall Space Launch System (SLS) rocket, atop the 400-foot-tall Mobile Launcher, will start the slow trek to the pad Thursday night.

The rocket's return to pad 39B sets up a launch attempt for the Artemis 2 mission no earlier than April 1.
