The Artemis II mission aims to set a new space travel record. Four astronauts will fly farther from Earth than anyone before.

Apollo 13 had an accident but made a safe return to Earth. Its crew flew very far from our planet in 1970.

During their trip, astronauts will see the moon's hidden side. They will also watch a total solar eclipse from space.

The spacecraft will lose contact with Earth behind the moon. This communication break will last for about 40 minutes.

After visiting the moon, the crew will return to Earth. They will talk with astronauts on the space station too.
