We have liftoff!
NASA's long-awaited return trip to the moon's orbit launched on Wednesday, April 1 as crowds of people watched in awe to see the Artemis II mission take off in Florida.
The Orion capsule lifted off at about 6:35 p.m. ET from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The four astronauts on board are now in orbit around the Earth on their historic mission to orbit the moon, though not land on this trip.
“We are going for all humanity,” astronaut Jeremy Hansen said seconds before lifting off.
NASA Launch Director Charlie Blackwell-Thompson responded to Hansen and the other three astronauts that they're taking with them "the heart of this Artemis team, the daring spirit of the American people and our partners across the globe, and the hopes and dreams of a new generation.”
