The four astronauts on the Artemis II mission board the Orion capsule as they get ready to embark on a trip around the Moon, marking humankind’s deepest venture into space, an odyssey that aims to launch the US into a new era of interstellar exploration. The NASA mission has been years in the making after facing repeated setbacks and massive cost overruns, but is finally scheduled to take off from Florida as early as 6:24 pm (2224 GMT). The team featuring Americans Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, and Christina Koch, along with Canadian Jeremy Hansen, will set forth on the approximately 10-day mission and hurtle around Earth’s nearest celestial neighbor without landing — much like Apollo 8 did in 1968.
