Humanity's first crewed lunar mission in more than half a century lifted off Wednesday. After a tense afternoon of checks and fixes, four astronauts — three Americans and one Canadian — aboard NASA's newest moon rocket began their journey at 6:35 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time. Over the next 10 days, the crew of the Artemis II mission will fly around the moon and back while setting a new record for the farthest distance humans have ever traveled from Earth. Apollo 17, in 1972, was the last time astronauts landed on the moon.

Meet some of the people behind NASA Artemis II. 🌖🧑‍🚀 We asked NASA’s Johnson Space Center employees how they contribute to Artemis II and if they had any well wishes for the crew. Artemis II is NASA’s next giant leap: the first crewed flight around the Moon in more than 50 years, a critical test of Orion’s systems, and a major step toward returning humans to the lunar surface and building a long‑term presence on the Moon. It’s a team effort on the ground and in space!
