In the same week that NASA announced targeted dates for the maiden launch of its mega moon rocket, the agency has dropped a cinematic trailer to spread the word about the mission.
Short and sweet, NASA’s Artemis: Launching to the Moon trailer depicts the powerful Space Launch System rocket launching the Orion capsule to space. Artemis I will involve sending the Orion on a flyby of the moon before bringing the spacecraft home. The long-awaited Artemis I mission will see Orion fly further than any spacecraft built for humans has ever flown, with the capsule set to travel 280,000 miles from Earth and thousands of miles beyond the moon during a mission that will last up to six weeks.
