Fly me to the moon: Everything you need to know about Artemis II

Summary: For the first time in over 50 years, humans are heading back to the moon! NASA's Artemis II mission plans to launch between April 1 and April 6. Four astronauts—three Americans and one Canadian—will fly further into space than anyone ever has. They will travel 4,600 miles past the far side of the moon during a 10-day trip.

Before the trip, the crew must stay in a strict 14-day health quarantine to make sure they don't get sick in space. The mission costs about $4 billion per launch. It was delayed recently because the giant rocket had a liquid hydrogen fuel leak during a practice run. Once fixed, this flight will test the Orion spacecraft to make sure it is safe for future trips to Mars and help America stay ahead in space exploration.
