The Artemis II mission around the moon will be a brilliant last hurrah for several space shuttle engines and booster rocket parts that first flew as far back as 1982.
The Artemis 2 mission is due to send astronauts on a test mission to the moon and back during the "opening act" of a new age of discovery.
Artemis II mission is set to launch at 6:24 p.m. ET from Kennedy Space Center. The mission will send a crew of four astronauts on a 10-day journey around the moon, marking a historic return to deep space in over 50 years.
