The Artemis II mission has reached a significant milestone as the Orion spacecraft departs Earth’s orbit to begin its journey toward the Moon. This mission represents the first crewed flight to the lunar vicinity in over five decades, carrying a team of four astronauts. During the journey, the crew will conduct essential tests on the spacecraft’s life-support, communication, and navigation systems. This flight serves as a critical precursor to future missions aimed at establishing a long-term human presence on the lunar surface.
- The Artemis II mission is the first crewed flight of NASA’s Space Launch System and Orion spacecraft.
- The crew consists of four astronauts, including three from NASA and one from the Canadian Space Agency.
- The spacecraft will follow a lunar flyby trajectory, traveling thousands of kilometers beyond the far side of the Moon.
- Key objectives include validating the manual piloting capabilities and life-support systems in a deep-space environment.
- The mission is expected to last approximately ten days, concluding with a splashdown in the Pacific Ocean.

It has left low earth orbit, but it is still very much in earth's orbit. As is the moon
The "toilet problem" has me thinking about an episode of "The Big Bang Theory"…
As an American living in Poland, when our allies refer to American feats as something “we’re” doing, it fills my heart with pride. That our friends feel like this is something that we’re all doing together is pretty fricken cool.
God bless America 🎉🎉❤
too much money needed, india cant do same way need something different.
Very clickbaity and dramatic headline – unneccessary drama and misleading. The TLI burn brought Integrity on a free return trajectory until landing. Watch the expert
Race for a lunar base? But, have our alien "keepers" approved it? They clearly stated moon is their territory.
Hopefully this is the last time we barnstorm the moon. Let's get permanent, build a base! Time to go interplanetary and this is the first step.
Moon is very far from earth 300,000 miles is a lot wow big achievement.. congrats US.
One of the few events were I am happy for our success as a American.
bon voyage Integrity
I'm sure the toliet was not on the top of the list it's not rocket science
left Earth orbit to fly to the Moon orbit. I just don't believe it because they already said that more then 50 years ago and never did it.
Can you prove it? Can you show to all of us so we can believe it? I don't think so..
Point of no return?
Better keep the toilet functioning 🤭
Wth dude 😂 what do u mean by point of no return lol 😂😅 u mean astronauts won't come back ?
"Going down to Tegrity gonna have myself a time."
NASA toilets: This is Mission Control, you will have to practice Mission Control.

"With this burn to the moon we do not leave Earth, we choose it." ……Yah, ok. Are they allowed to bring edibles? Are we sure this thing is on autopilot?
Reduce food prices on earth then go nuke moon
……correction; It is first time and not 50 years ago………50 year ago was/is a complete BS………
Amazing work, but NASA is and has always been very cheesy.
Poor astronauts will be lost in space forever…
Good luck boys and girl.
Please greet Uranus from me.
So, they are staying on the Moon. No return is just that, right?
NASA has no choice. They are in a space race with one St African chap.
"we do not leave earth, we chose it"
Toilet didn't work is a small thing?!
The interview with the astronauts said they have been so busy, they've barely had time to sleep… busy doing what? It seems everything is automated.
Can't wait to see the "pear shaped" 🌍 on the way back?
