2:10Now PlayingSen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.), a retired NASA astronaut, said that the Artemis II mission to the moon is uncharted territory for American space explorers.
“They’re going to go 4,000 miles on the far side of the moon, which is something we’ve never done before, even during Apollo,” Kelly told NewsNation’s Henry Amor at Kennedy Center Space Center in Florida, while donning his NASA uniform and a camo Navy hat.
The Artemis II test flight is scheduled for 6:24 p.m. ET on April Fools' Day evening, a trip that will mark the first crewed mission to head toward the moon since the final Apollo flight in December 1972. It will follow the uncrewed Artemis I moon-orbiting mission in 2022.
