For the first time since 1972, NASA is sending humans around the Moon.
Four astronauts, including the first woman and the first African American, could make their way towards the Moon in early March.
The historic mission — Artemis II — is a 10-day space voyage decades in the making.
After years of delays to both Artemis I and Artemis II, the latest testing of the rocket indicates it may be ready to lift off as early as 6th March US time (7th March Australian time).
Lori Glaze, the Acting Associate Administrator for NASA’s Exploration Systems Development Mission Directorate, says the excitement for Artemis II is really starting to build and they can feel that launch day is approaching.
Australian of the Year and trained astronaut Katherine Bennell-Pegg says this is a historic mission.
