NASA's Artemis II Mission to Send Humans Farther Than Ever Before
NASA is preparing to launch astronauts to the moon for the first time in over 50 years as part of the Artemis II mission. The mission plans to send four astronauts on a flight around the far side of the moon. The crew could fly deeper into space than any humans ever before, about 250,000 miles from Earth. The mission is seen as a critical stepping stone toward getting astronauts back on the moon, establishing a sustained presence there and using it as a gateway to future Mars missions. Mission commander Reid Wideman, pilot Victor Glover and mission specialists Jeremy Hansen and Christina Koch have spent years training in simulators, learning to live and work inside the cramped Orion capsule.
