NASA’s Artemis mission test flight blasts off toward the moon

NASA launched its next-generation rocket Wednesday morning on a crewless voyage around the moon, half a century after the final lunar mission of the Apollo era.

The much-delayed launch kicked off Apollo’s successor program, Artemis, aimed at returning astronauts to the lunar surface and eventually establishing a sustainable lunar base as a stepping stone to future human exploration of Mars.

Named after the ancient Greek goddess of the hunt – and Apollo’s twin sister – Artemis aims to return astronauts to the moon’s surface as early as 2025.

NASA Administrator Bill Nelson praised the rocket launch, calling it “the next step.”

The Artemis I mission will see the Orion spacecraft on a 25-day flight that will bring the capsule within 97 kilometres of the lunar surface before flying 64,400 kilometres beyond the moon and looping back to Earth. The capsule is expected to splash down on Dec. 11.

Going to live on the moon in order to prepare humans to live on Mars.

Looking at the opening photo, looks like the Rocket is going to fall short of the moon, unless the boosters haven’t kicked in yet.

Ya I know... You ain't fooling nobody that rocket went up and then came down somewhere in the ocean. No rocket is going to the Moon.🤣🤣

Please make sure it doesn’t land on Russia, Poland, or Ukraine, tempers are a little frayed at present, any rocket crash landing in those countries may trigger WWIII.

It's interesting how we can't do what we did in the 60s now. Will be a while before we put someone on the moon. Maybe not interesting but

That's crazy didn't y'all hear a man say no no. Nobody will know if it can land in a populated area, but good luck!
