On April 1, NASA is set to launch Artemis II — the first crewed mission to journey around the Moon in over half a century. At the heart of this mission is the powerful Space Launch System (SLS), the most capable rocket ever built by NASA, designed to send humans deeper into space than ever before. Sitting atop it is Orion spacecraft — a next-generation spacecraft built to carry astronauts safely beyond Earth orbit and back home. 🌕 What will Artemis II do? This mission will send a crew of four astronauts on a journey around the Moon, testing every critical system needed for future lunar landings — without landing itself. It’s the proving ground for humanity’s return to the lunar surface. 👨‍🚀 Meet the crew: Reid Wiseman Victor Glover Christina Koch Jeremy Hansen This mission is more than a test flight — it’s a historic step forward. Humanity hasn’t ventured this far from Earth since the era of Apollo missions over 50 years ago. Now, we’re going back. Not just to visit — but to stay, explore, and push even further. 📅 Mark your calendar — April 1. Because this time, we’re not just looking at the Moon… We’re going back to it.
