NASA is set to launch its Artemis II mission in February, marking the first human journey toward the Moon since 1972.
The Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and Orion spacecraft have been moved to the launch pad at Kennedy Space Center, with liftoff planned as early as February 6.
The crew includes Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen. The mission will take them around the Moon before returning to Earth.
Christina Koch will become the first woman to travel to the lunar region, while Jeremy Hansen will be the first non-American astronaut to do so, representing the Canadian Space Agency.
