NASA says space mission on track for Wednesday launch, aiming to carry a crew to the moon for first time in 5 decades
NASA’s Artemis II mission will send four astronauts on a lunar fly-around when it launches at 6:24 p.m. today.
By Joey Roulette CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida, March 30 (Reuters) - NASA is preparing to launch the first crew of astronauts toward the moon in over 53 years with its second Artemis mission, a critical test flight in humanity's broader lunar goals as the U.
The Artemis mission has been called a “return to the moon,” but Dalton noted that this mission seeks to do far more than the Apollo missions in the 1960s and early ‘70s. He said a trip to the south pole of the moon will be exponentially harder than the 1969 moon landing.
