Newscast – NASA Returns To The Moon (And Beyond)
Available for more than a year
Today, NASA launched the first manned mission around the Moon in more than 50 years. The Artemis II mission will last about 10 days and take its astronauts farther into space than anyone has ever gone before. The four-person crew will not land on the Moon, but will circle it, aiming to pave the way for an eventual human landing for the first time since the 1960s and 70s. Adam is joined by space scientist Dame Maggie Aderin-Pocock and astronaut Tim Peake, who co-host the 13 Minutes Presents: Artemis II podcast.
