Artemis II Crew Lands in Colorado | Denver News

Artemis II astronauts are hitting Colorado next month for a star-studded Red Rocks Amphitheater event, honoring the Centennial State’s massive role in NASA’s moon missions. From Lockheed Martin’s 14,000+ employees building the Orion spacecraft to Northrop Grumman’s rocket boosters, Colorado’s aerospace talent is fueling lunar exploration. NASA even trains in Colorado’s mountainous terrain — eerily similar to the moon’s surface. The event kicks off at 8 AM with a free STEM fair featuring aerospace giants, followed by astronaut talks at 9:30 AM. Tickets cost just a $1 processing fee, with presale starting Friday, July 17 at noon — a rare chance to meet the crew and see how Colorado’s innovation is propelling humanity back to the moon.
