At a cost of up to $4.1 billion per launch, can NASA achieve its mission and afford to fly the Space Launch System rocket?NASA's Artemis I rocket isn't a celebrity, but it's getting the star-studded treatment.
A live broadcast of the Space Launch System rocket launch later this month will include celebrity appearances by Jack Black, Chris Evans and Keke Palmer, as well as a special performance of “The Star-Spangled Banner” by Josh Groban and Herbie Hancock, a news release from NASA states. It isn't clear if any of them will actually be at the Kennedy Space Center for the launch or whether they will all have remote appearances.
