NASA's Artemis II mission plans to fly around the moon and back this April. Four astronauts will board the mammoth Space Launch System (SLS) rocket for the test flight, spending 10 days off-Earth. They won't be touching down—this mission is intended to pave the way for humans to once again place their boots in the sticky, clumpy soil of our closest celestial neighbor.
