NASA, Artemis and Moon
Digest more
Artemis II could send humans near the moon for the 1st time since 1972 and crowds are expected to flood the Space Coast to bear witness.
Artemis II has been delayed multiple times for numerous reasons, but there isn't a single part of this mission that NASA has not mapped out.
Victor Glover, who grew up in Pomona, will pilot NASA's first crewed flight to the moon since 1972. If successful, he'll be the first Black person to reach the moon.
In high-stakes roles, NASA launch and mission control teams on the ground will keep the Artemis II astronauts safely on track during a 10-day journey around the moon.
