Four astronauts launched on a historic lunar mission, the first in over 50 years, from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center. The crew includes three Americans and one Canadian, aiming to set a record by traveling farther from Earth than any humans before. The mission, Artemis II, is designed to establish a permanent lunar presence and will pave the way for a Moon landing in 2028. NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman emphasized the importance of competition with China in this new era of lunar exploration.
