White House Press Pool Reports @WHPressPool - Out of Town Pool Report #8 Inside the Space Center
The pool walked through a warehouse-like space, passing various spacecraft with logos for companies including Boeing and SpaceX.
We are now in an area divided from the rest of the room with blue curtains, where astronauts in jumpsuits are assembled on a stage. Signs flanking the lectern say, "NASA: Golden Age of Space Exploration." There is a mockup of the Orion spacecraft that the Artemis II crew used for training. On the other side, there are five different space suits.
Screens on either side of the stage played a video promoting the Artemis II mission, ending with a rocket takeoff.
The ceremony should be streamed on the usual White House channels. We are still waiting for POTUS's arrival.

White House Press Pool Reports @WHPressPool - Out of Town Pool Report #7 Space Center Arrival
The motorcade arrived at the Space Center at 11:03 AM CDT.
During our ride, we saw many people taking videos of the motorcade as it passed. Some stuck in standstill traffic on the other side of the highway got out of their cars to watch, and one man even leaned over the concrete median. As we got closer to the center, we saw a mix of supporters and protestors. One woman wearing a red MAGA cap jumped up and down waving as we passed, another held a sign that said, "Ken Paxton is a crook."
The White House shares:
Upon arrival, the President will be greeted by NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman
President Trump will also participate in photos with NASA officials and sign the International Space Station Mockup Mission Hatch before delivering remarks.
