NASA sends Artemis II on its mission to the moon. Artemis II set sail from the same Florida launch site that sent Apollo’s explorers to the moon so long ago. The handful still alive cheered this next

NASA launched the Artemis II mission, which will carry humans to the moon for the first time since 1972.

Artemis II successfully lifted off from Florida's Kennedy Space Center on April 1, the start of the crew's 10-day mission around the moon and back.

Commander Reid Wiseman, a 50-year-old Navy captain and former test pilot, calmly radioed updates from the cockpit of the Orion spacecraft at the tip of the SLS rocket. He was joined in the cockpit by pilot Victor Glover (another Navy captain), mission specialist Christina Koch, and Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen.

NASA's giant moon rocket is back on the launch pad in Florida, setting the stage for what appears to be an imminent launch of the Artemis 2 mission.

NASA's Artemis II rocket will launch from the Kennedy Space Center, sending four astronauts around the moon. Here's what to expect during liftoff.

Nearly all of Florida, including some of those who live in the Panhandle, and those in southern Georgia, may be able to see Artemis II lift off from Florida's Kennedy Space Center on its way towards the moon – the first moon mission in some 50 years.

Three rockets are scheduled to launch from Vandenberg Space Force Base this week, including two SpaceX Starlink missions.
