Artemis II - A Thank You

Kennedy Space Center, FL. – With a launch of so much importance and anticipation, the day finally came that the world stopped and watched as four astronauts road a trail of smoke and fire towards a rendezvous with the Moon.

Days turning into years and many delays along the way continued to keep adding up after the launch of Artemis I. So many moments in time that finally took us up to the historic launch of Artemis II.

Riding that trail of smoke and fire towards space were: CSA (Canadian Space Agency) astronaut Jeremy Hansen, and NASA astronauts Christina Koch, Victor Glover, and Reid Wiseman. They are now taking the Orion capsule “Integrity” for a ten day journey to make an orbit of the Moon and return.

This is the first time since the final Apollo mission in the 1970’s that human’s will not only leave low Earth orbit, but the first time humans will have traveled back to our neighbor the Moon since departure of Apollo 17 in December of 1972 over half a century ago.
