What It REALLY Takes to Build a 10‑Day Mission to the Moon - Inside Artemis II

How do you send astronauts farther from Earth than any human has ever travelled… after more than 50 years away from deep space? 

NASA had to rebuild almost everything to do it. Artemis II is the first crewed mission beyond low Earth orbit since Apollo 17 in 1972, and the first step in returning humans to the Moon. 

Four astronauts. One brand-new spacecraft. And the most powerful rocket ever flown.
