NASA is expected to send the first crewed mission around the Moon in more than 50 years. On Wednesday, the Artemis II crew completed final preparations for launch from Florida, which will take place in the evening.
The crew of the 10-day mission will not land on the Moon, but plan to circle it, while traveling further from Earth than anyone has ever done before. Following the unmanned Artemis I mission in 2022, NASA’s Artemis program is preparing for deep space missions, with the ultimate goal of reaching Mars in the 2030s.
