Brenda Mulberry, president of Pike Products and Space Shirts on north Merritt Island, has printed thousands of Artemis II t-shirts since early March. Her shop, which also sells space-themed apparel, has seen a surge in demand as the mission approaches its launch date. 'We started with 5,000 shirts and sold them all in two weeks,' Mulberry said. The shop is now printing another batch of 10,000 shirts ahead of the mission's April 2026 launch window. The Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex's Space Shop has stocked Artemis II souvenirs since late February. Items include mugs, pins, pennants, and limited edition Fisher Space Pens priced at $45 each. The shop has sold over 2,000 pens since they arrived, according to a manager who asked not to be named. Meanwhile, the Highland Mint in Melbourne has released a 1-ounce silver coin featuring the Artemis II crew patch. The coin, which costs $125, sold out within 48 hours of its March 25 release. Mint officials said they are preparing a second run of 500 coins. At Space Shirts, employees work around the clock to meet demand. Nancy Ross, a screen printer, said her team has been running three shifts daily. 'We're printing 2,000 shirts a day, but we can't keep up with orders,' Ross said. The shop's website shows a backlog of 1,500 pre-orders for custom sleeve prints. Local retailers report no signs of slowing down as the mission's launch date nears. The Artemis II crew is scheduled to train at the nearby Cape Canaveral Space Force Station starting in May.
