🚀 Artemis II: Humanity’s Return to the Moon 🌕

⭕NASA 🇺🇸 astronauts prepare for the Artemis II launch, suiting up for a mission that will take humans deeper into space than ever before.

⭕ Artemis II will be the first crewed mission beyond low Earth orbit since the Apollo 17 mission in 1972.

⭕ Apart from the Apollo program, no human has gone beyond 1,000 km from Earth.

⭕ The farthest distance ever reached by humans was during the Apollo 13 mission, approximately 400,171 km.

⭕ Artemis II is expected to go farther from Earth than Apollo 13. This will be a Moon flyby mission, similar to Apollo 13.

⭕ Artemis IV is planned for early 2028 as the first Artemis lunar landing mission.

⭕ The first launch window for Artemis II will be on April 1st. If delayed, April 2nd and April 6th are the next available dates.
