This is a BIG deal!
For the first time since 1972, NASA is sending humans to the Moon. While they won’t be walking on the surface, they will be travelling by the far (dark) side of the Moon for the first time in human history.

Artemis II is currently on its 10‑day journey and is expected to return to Earth on April 10.

What’s especially cool is that a Canadian is on board! Colonel Jeremy Hansen is a mission specialist on this historic mission.

Check out their progress and a bunch of other interesting info HERE
