After weeks of fuel leaks and other issues, NASA faced a trouble-free countdown Tuesday on the eve of astronauts' first trip to the moon in more than half a century. Officials reported the moon rocket was doing well on the pad, and the weather looked promising. The four astronauts assigned to the Artemis II mission will become the first lunar visitors since Apollo 17 in 1972.

Five reasons why human space flight is a bigger challenge today than it was during the Apollo era.

Additional discoveries made a the site included a bronze candelabrum and marble reliquary, both the largest of their kind to ever be found in Israel. A marble block with three half-sphere depressions was found beside a baptismal font, thought to possibly point to a lost stage of early Christian baptismal rites, was found in the ancient city of Hippos, not far from the Kinneret, according to a recent study.

NASA Artemis II astronauts Reid Wiseman, Christina Koch and Victor Glover and Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen are set to launch as early as April 1.

In a throwback to Apollo, NASA’s Artemis II mission will send four astronauts on a lunar fly-around. No circling around the moon, no stopping for a moonwalk — just a quick out-and-back lasting less than 10 days. NASA promises more boot prints in the gray lunar dust, but not before a couple practice missions.

A massive X1.4 solar flare won't endanger NASA's four Artemis 2 astronauts on their way to the moon.

Astronomers have spotted the most distant and brightest "space laser" ever seen, and it's blasting from a galaxy collision that occurred when the universe was half its current age.

Countdown clocks began ticking Monday, setting the stage for launch of the Artemis II moon mission early Wednesday evening.

Humans haven’t been back to the lunar surface since the Apollo moon program ended over five decade ago. The reasons why go beyond science, according to experts.

NASA began the countdown Monday for humanity’s first launch to the moon in 53 years. The 32-story Space Launch System rocket is poised to blast off Wednesday evening with four astronauts. “Our team has worked extremely hard to get us to this moment,” said launch director Charlie Blackwell-Thompson.

A lot of people are coming to Florida for the historic Artemis 2 moon launch, so they'll need to budget extra time to see the astronauts fly.
