Around the Moon for All Humanity: Artemis II (Official Launch Trailer)

Artemis II will launch four astronauts on a mission around the Moon no earlier than April 1, 2026. The approximately ten-day mission begins with a launch on the SLS (Space Launch System) rocket from NASA's Kennedy Space Center, embarks on a lunar flyby, and ends with a splashdown in the Pacific Ocean. The purpose of the mission is to certify the life support systems aboard the Orion spacecraft for future Artemis missions and Moon landings. This mission represents the first time in over fifty years that humans will fly in the vicinity of the Moon. Credit: NASA/Ashlee Elizabeth Nichols

What is said in the film

The Artemis II mission is a test mission of the Orion space capsule. Artemis II will be the first time we put humans on this rocket. We're going back to the Moon because it's the next step in our journey to Mars. We were always going to the Moon. Pushing ourselves to explore is just core to who we are.

It’s a part of being a human. And liftoff! We shall return. Continuing to test out every bit of Orion. Coming back to Earth, seven miles a second.

When humanity sets big goals, we can bring together genius from around the world. You have the best people on planet Earth putting this vehicle together. Go Artemis! That's what’s up. To innovate for the benefit of humanity, and to inspire the world through discovery.

And here we go.
