Remind me why we’re using LOX/LH2 and not RP1? Because reuse of SSMEs?

NASA is planning on rolling out the Artemis II rocket and spacecraft from the Vehicle Assembly Building to Launch Pad 39B at #NASAKennedy no earlier than 17 January. The 6.4 km journey will take up to 12 hours.

Also, no landing hardware exists at this time, nor does lunar surface ops. All still under development and testing. That will be Artemis iii.

All hardware, software, and human systems had to be engineered from ground up and then tested. None of the Apollo era tech remained, aside from a few museum artifacts. Artemis II is to test human systems, life support and trans lunar operations, which haven’t been done for 50 years.
