This past weekend, the Artemis II rocket was rolled out to Launch Pad 39B at Kennedy Space Center. It is to take humans to the moon for the first time since Apollo.

A NASA astronaut on the ISS captured the Space Launch System rocket for Artemis 2, a mission that aims to bring four astronauts around the moon as soon as Feb. 6.

The four astronauts of Crew-11, in their first public comments since ending their mission about a month early, said NASA had prepared the astronauts well to handle a first-of-its-kind emergency.

The Artemis II mission will set several notable human spaceflight records. Astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen will travel farther from Earth than any human in history. They won’t land. That distinction will fall to the next mission in line in NASA’s Artemis program.

NASA’s upcoming Artemis II flight will be the first crewed lunar mission in over 50 years, but it will not land on the moon. Here’s why.
