They are RIGHT NOW on the way to the moon, they will reach it for a flyby tomorrow (April 6, 2026). In this mission they will do a lunar flyby with humans for the first time since the last Apollo mission, it has been about 53 years ever since. The most powerful rocket NASA has ever lunched in history, slightly more powerful than Apollo's mission Saturn V rockets, but much more reliable and safer. They had done this same mission without humans onboard in November 16, 2022. It uses the European Union Agency service module, which provides propulsion, electricity, thermal control, and life support essentials for NASA's Orion spacecraft. Orion is the whole vehicle: the crew module on top where the astronauts live, and the European Service Module underneath that powers and sustains it. Together they make Orion capable of flying humans beyond low Earth orbit, something no spacecraft has done since Apollo. This flyby mission is a big step before new missions that will actually land. Artemis II proves the rocket, the spacecraft, and the systems with humans onboard. Once they do a flyby around the Moon tomorrow, it will mark the return of humans to lunar space after more than half a century, opening the door for Artemis III to put boots back on the surface. This is the first time a women and a black person (that guy there) will reach lunar orbit, and it's the furthest that they ever went away from earth. - Main page (With live streams): https://www.nasa.gov/mission/artemis-ii/ - Watch their location in real-time: https://www.nasa.gov/missions/artemis-ii/arow/ - Best photos (gets updated): https://www.nasa.gov/gallery/journey-to-the-moon/
