01 | Artemis Explained: Before the launch
Notas del episodio
For the first time in 50 years, humanity is on the cusp of returning to the Moon, with the Artemis II lunar flyby mission set to launch in the coming days.
But if we've already been to the Moon, why bother going back now? And who will be on board when the spacecraft blasts off?
Welcome to the first episode of Artemis Explained. From lift-off to splashdown, we'll bring you daily Artemis II mission updates and answer your questions about life as an astronaut, the science of spaceflight, and plans to venture beyond the Moon.
