NASA is set to launch Artemis-II with four astronauts on board. It will be the first crewed Moon mission in over 50 years. The spacecraft will take the astronauts on a 10-day journey around the Moon. Officials said final checks are complete and weather is 80% favourable. The crew includes Victor Glover, Reid Wiseman, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen. The mission will not land on the Moon but test key systems. NASA called it a “historic liftoff”. The mission will help prepare for future human missions to Mars and deep space exploration.
