By Joey Roulette CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida, April 1 (Reuters) - NASA is set to launch four astronauts as soon as Wednesday evening on a 10-day flight around the moon, marking the most ambitious U.S. space mission in decades and a major step toward returning humans to the lunar surface before China's first crewed landing.
Four astronauts have embarked on a high-stakes flight around the moon, humanity’s first lunar voyage in more than half a century.
NASA released the very first images taken by the four astronauts aboard the Orion capsule as they are making their way to the moon.
The four astronauts on the Artemis II mission are on their way to the moon. After a successful launch from Florida April 1, the Artemis II mission was more than 70,000 miles away from Earth by 6 a.m.
