With thousands of people camping out on Florida’s Cocoa Beach to gape at the enormous rocket shooting up from Kennedy Space Center just before sunset yesterday. Now this mission is called Artemis II because it’s the second out of four missions that NASA has planned. The first went ahead in 2022, but nobody cares about that one — it was uncrewed, boring, lame. This one’s actually got people on it — four of them, to be exact, three Americans and one Canadian. But it’s not actually gonna land on the Moon; it’s just gonna fly around it. With the third mission in 2027 not landing either; it’ll just test the equipment to dock with the landers they plan to use. And the fourth, in 2028, is when they’re gonna put boots on the lunar surface again for the first time since the Apollo missions. But just because the astronauts on this current flight aren’t landing doesn’t mean it’s not super cool. I mean, for one thing, they very well might die. Okay, nobody’s expecting that to be likely, but this is a dangerous mission. Right, they’re going into deep space, so to put it in perspective, the ISS orbits just 250 miles above Earth; the Moon is some 250,000 miles away. —————————— Produced by: Cory Ray, Philip DeFranco Edited by: James Girardier, Maxwell Enright, Julie Goldberg, Christian Meeks, Matthew Henry Art Department: William Crespo Writing/Research: Chris Tolve, Philip DeFranco ———————————— #USA #America #Artemis
