Show Notes
NASAs Artemis Two mission marks a historic milestone, launching from Kennedy Space Center on April 1, 2026, with four astronauts aboard the Orion capsule. This ten-day journey, the first human flight beyond Earth orbit since 1972, sees the crew traveling at speeds up to 24,500 mph, reaching over 250,000 miles from Earth. The mission tests key systems for deep space travel, paving the way for future lunar missions and NASAs Artemis goals. As of 9:45 a.m., Orion is about 43,000 miles out, cruising at 2,100 mph, with 226,000 miles still to the moon. The crew will orbit Earth today, then burn toward the moon, using gravity assists for a free-return path, and splash down in the Pacific Ocean after reaching temperatures of 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit on reentry.
