NASA picks March 6 to launch four astronauts
NASA has targeted March 6 to send four astronauts on a journey around the Moon. This 10-day Artemis II mission involves travelling beyond the far side before returning home to prepare for future landings. The date was selected after a successful practice countdown and fuelling test at the Kennedy Space Center. It will be the furthest humans have ever travelled into deep space.
