NASA’s Artemis II Moon Mission Is Coming Together Quickly

It’s already been almost half a year since SLS lifted off for the first time and made the successful journey to the Moon and back. The data and results from Artemis I have given NASA the confidence to move on to the next big step, launching humans. While this second mission seems far away, in reality, we are relatively close to some significant testing and preparation.

Already we are seeing completed upper stages being delivered and construction on the launchpad underway. This comes in addition to the astronaut selection which was recently announced. Artemis II has some major differences from the first mission to not only ensure the safety of the astronauts on board, but also gather all the data necessary for the next step, landing humans on the surface.

If successful, we will be one step closer to making history as the agency puts everything into Artemis III and beyond. Here I will go more in-depth into important mission updates, the Artemis II mission profile, what to expect in the coming months, and more.

All those people taking like four hours to attach one fuel tank to another really makes me feel bad for the KSP workers lol😂😂😂

I really enjoy your videos - you have a very different take than we have about how to create the shots. You are doing great work!

That's great news, I was worried it would take another decade and 10 billion to launch another one.

Will these artemis missions have an affect on the space industry? In terms of increasing competitiveness and innovation? Cuz artemis is nasa

[Fireblot]

Is Canada making a financial contribution to this mission?

After Elon launch starship they not even gone care for the little weight that thing can carry because eventually there gonna want more and more cargo

NASA still doesn't get the 21st Century media environment. Providing the millions watching the Artemis mission with video from the Orion exterior, wasn't even an afterthought. Even Virgin Orbit did a better job of coverage.

How about we try to successfully terraform our own planet to sustain life before we spend fortunes doing it in outer space?

[yoskarokuto]
