Artemis II: Humanity's Bold Return to the Moon
NASA's Artemis II mission marks humanity's return to the moon after over 50 years, with a team that includes a woman, a person of color, and a Canadian. The astronauts will fly beyond the moon without landing, in preparation for future lunar exploration, facilitating a planned moon base by 2028.
NASA is poised for a historic event as four astronauts aboard the Orion capsule prepare to break humanity’s moon travel dry spell, not seen since the Apollo missions over half a century ago.
Artemis II's evening launch from the Kennedy Space Center marks a pivotal step in NASA's ambitious plans for lunar exploration, aided by the colossal Space Launch System rocket, fully fueled with over 700,000 gallons.
This mission features a diverse crew and new lunar ambitions, setting the stage for a permanent moon base by 2028.
