Did Artemis II mission planning begin with Biden? We explored its roots

CLAIM: Planning for the Artemis II mission began during former U.S. President Joe Biden's administration. RATING: FALSE. The four astronauts who flew on the Artemis II mission were selected during the Biden administration. Planning for the mission began, however, under the first Trump administration and, as a whole, has roots dating back to the presidencies of Barack Obama and George W. Bush.
