Four astronauts have begun their journey toward the Moon, marking the first crewed lunar mission since 1972 and a major milestone for space exploration. The mission, known as Artemis II, lifted off overnight from Cape Canaveral in Florida, signaling a renewed push by NASA to return humans to deep space and eventually establish a sustained presence on the Moon.

Launching SLS every three and a half years or so is not a recipe for success."

WASHINGTON, Feb 21 (Bernama-dpa) — NASA voiced renewed optimism on Friday after a second ground test for its mission to send a crew around the Moon as soon as next month showed significant progress after earlier technical problems, German Press Agency (dpa) reported. NASA administrator Jared Isaacman said on X that the second so-called wet dress rehearsal — a full launch countdown simulation without lift-off — marked “a big step toward America’s return to the lunar environment.” Lori Glaze, a NASA manager, said repairs to issues encountered during earlier testing had proven effective. Nearly all procedures were completed as planned […]

La NASA se rapproche un peu plus de son objectif : renvoyer des astronautes sur la Lune. Pour y parvenir, elle mise sur un nouveau moteur-fusée surpuissant développé par l’entreprise américaine Northrop Grumman.

For the first time in over five decades, a crewed spacecraft has successfully departed Earth’s orbit to journey toward the Moon. Following a critical six-minute engine burn on Thursday, April 2, 2026, NASA’s Artemis II mission is now on a precise trajectory for a lunar flyby, marking a monumental leap in the modern era of space exploration. The mission, which lifted off from Launch Pad 39B at the Kennedy Space Center on April 1, carries a diverse crew of four: NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, and Christina Koch, alongside Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen.
