It’s been fifty-four years since humans have been to the moon, but if all goes well, the wait is about to be over soon.
NASA announced that it successfully conducted a fueling test of the powerful SLS rocket, and with that, it’s aiming to launch the Artemis II mission in two weeks, on March 6.
The mission will send four astronauts on a historic trip around the moon.
CBS News reported:
“Artemis II commander Reid Wiseman, pilot Victor Glover, mission specialist Christina Koch and Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen are expected to enter pre-flight medical quarantine Friday evening at the Johnson Space Center in Houston.
