The Artemis II crew have completed their mission to view the dark side of the moon and are now set to re-enter Earth's atmosphere tomorrow (NZT).
Auckland University astrophysicist Richard Easther joined Matt and Tyler to chat about the historical and scientific significance of the mission.
"99% of what they're trying to do here is to test the technology," he said.
"It's essentially a test flight of the vehicles that they want to use to go back to the moon on a regular basis."
