The Artemis II mission has successfully launched, marking the first time in over 50 years that a crewed spacecraft has departed for the Moon. Carrying a crew of four astronauts, the mission utilizes the Space Launch System rocket and the Orion spacecraft to perform a lunar flyby. This historic flight serves as a critical validation of deep-space life support systems and navigation, paving the way for future lunar landings and the establishment of a long-term human presence on the Moon.
- The mission is the first crewed flight to the lunar vicinity since the Apollo 17 mission in 1972.
- The crew includes NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, and Christina Koch, along with Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen.
- The mission profile involves a ten-day journey that circles the Moon before returning for a splashdown in the Pacific Ocean.
- The flight marks several historical milestones, including the first woman, the first person of color, and the first non-American to travel to the Moon.
- Successful completion of this mission is a prerequisite for Artemis III, which aims to land humans on the lunar surface.

What a waste of money. What is the point of this? We have already been to the moon. There is nothing useful on the moon anyway, this is just billion dollar tax payer funded joyride. Those wasted billions could be used to cover countless social programs instead.
