The Artemis 1 is set to launch Monday morning from the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida. This is the first launch of the Artemis mission that will send astronauts back to the moon for the first time in almost 50 years. Artemis 1 is an unmanned flight that will test the Orion spacecraft and NASA's new launch system. The spacecraft will travel 280,000 miles from earth, looping around the moon before returning home. The entire trip will take four to six weeks and cover 1.3 million miles. Tomorrow's launch is set for 8:33 AM. Read more about the mission at Jalopnik.
