Four people sit behind a curved desk with microphones in a studio setting. A large screen behind them displays the words “ARTEMIS ACCELERATION” over an image of the Moon’s surface. A NASA flag stands at the right side of the stage. The desk is illuminated with blue lighting, and papers and a laptop are visible on the tabletop.
