BREAKING: NASA has launched four astronauts on a mission to circle the Moon, marking the first human journey back to deep space in 54 years, and the farthest distance from Earth humans will have ever traveled to date. The four astronauts on this Artemis II mission will travel 600,000 miles around the moon. During their 10-day trip, they’ll test life support systems in the Orion capsule for future crewed missions to the moon’s surface. A moon landing would occur during Artemis III, which is currently targeted to launch sometime in 2027.
