"The 10-day mission will mark the first time humans have left Earth orbit since the Apollo 17 mission ended in 1972. Depending on the precise trajectory their spacecraft takes, the Artemis II crew may travel farther from Earth than any humans to date."
"Hey, let's go to the moon! said Wiseman, the mission commander, to open the crew's remarks. I think the nation and the world has been waiting a long time to do this again."
"I am fired up, Hansen added. We're all fired up to go do this."
The Artemis II crew, consisting of NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen, arrived at NASA's Kennedy Space Center on March 27. Their 10-day mission will mark the first human departure from Earth orbit since Apollo 17 in 1972. The crew may travel farther from Earth than any humans in history, depending on their spacecraft's trajectory. The mission is set to launch on April 1 at 6:24 P.M. EDT from Launch Complex 39B.
