""I think this is right up there with the first launch of the space shuttle in 1981. That was the first launch of a new launch vehicle, and it had a crew on board, which was kind of a daredevil move.""
""This is a capsule that's only flown once. It had problems the first time it flew. And now we're sending it with a crew out to the moon.""
Artemis II is set to launch a four-person crew around the moon, marking the first human journey beyond low Earth orbit in over 50 years. The mission will last 10 days and aims to break the Apollo 13 distance record. Crews have begun fueling the spacecraft, with a launch window opening at Kennedy Space Center. This mission is considered risky and technically challenging, as it relies on untested hardware for human transport to the moon, signaling a renewed ambition for deep space exploration.
