After 53 years, humans are going to the moon again

After more than 50 years, humans are going to the moon again. The US space agency NASA has successfully launched the Artemis-2 space mission. This mission began at 6:35 pm local time today, Wednesday (April 2), from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, USA.
It is known that there are four astronauts on this historic journey centered on the moon. Three Americans and one Canadian. Through which humans set foot on the moon again after almost 53 years. The 32-story rocket took off from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, where thousands of people gathered to witness the launch. NASA employees and visitors were excited during the rocket launch.
The astronauts gave brief speeches during the final test before the launch of the Artemis-2 mission. At that time, Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen said, “We are going to the moon on behalf of all mankind.” Then, Artemis 2 mission launch director Charlie Blackwell-Thompson addressed the astronauts directly.
“Reed, Victor, Christina and Jeremy—you carry with you on this historic mission the heart of the Artemis 2 team, the support of our partners around the world, and the hopes and dreams of a new generation. Good luck. God bless you. Let’s go Artemis 2.”
The four astronauts who set foot on the moon on the Artemis 2 mission are Reed Wiseman, Victor Glover and Christina Koch of the United States, and Jeremy Hansen of Canada.
The first phase will include a series of tests to ensure the reliability and safety of the spacecraft, which has never carried humans before. They will then orbit the moon for about 10 days, although they will not land there. The spacecraft’s manual control capabilities will also be tested during docking simulations.
The United States plans to return to the Moon in 2028 with the Artemis 4 mission. This will be NASA’s first lunar landing since the Apollo mission in 1972.
