With the launch of Artemis II, Jim Head — who helped train astronauts, select landing sites and analyze samples during the Apollo Moon landings nearly 60 years ago — is excited about a new chapter in lunar exploration.

More than 50 years after Apollo 17, a new era begins with deeper spaceflight, a diverse crew, and long-term Moon goals.

Orion's interior space is equivalent to that of two minivans, NASA says. That's a lot more breathing room than space capsules of the 1960s and '70s..

When Apollo 12, NASA's second lunar landing mission, launched from Kennedy Space Center, the space vehicle was struck by lightning— twice.

Meet the Press broadcast from Cape Kennedy space center and welcomed the three NASA astronauts who commanded Apollo missions 8, 9 and 10 ahead of the historic launch of Apollo 11, which would land Americans on the moon.

NASA reports all systems are go as of Wednesday morning for the launch of a historic crewed mission to the moon later in the day that, if successful, will mark the first time humans have traveled to Earth’s sole satellite since the final Apollo mission in the early ‘70s.
