The Artemis II crew's nine-day moon mission set a record for the farthest any human has ever traveled from Earth. Here's a look at the key moments.

This week, we got a different moon—the Artemis moon. The moon captured by America’s first mission there in generations is not the moon I look for every time I step outside. It is not the moon I grew up with or the one my parents learned about during the Apollo missions.

NASA’s Artemis II mission to the moon required patience. A February launch attempt became a March launch attempt. That in turn became an April launch attempt. But NASA’s flight controllers weren’t fooling around when they went into a terminal countdown and heaved three Americans and one Canadian into space on April Fools’ Day.

The Artemis program was officially named and announced by NASA in May 2019, when Artemis III was intended to land “the first woman and next man” on the lunar South Pole in 2024. Since then, the uncrewed Artemis I test flight launched in 2022, and Artemis II is complete.

What is called the "moon tree" all began with a deal between NASA and an elementary school that used to be in the Ferndale neighborhood.

Slamming into the atmosphere at more than 30 times the speed of sound, NASA’s Orion spacecraft blazed a trail over the Pacific Ocean on Friday, returning home with four astronauts and safely capping humanity’s first voyage to the Moon in nearly 54 years.
