Artemis II: Historic Manned Moon Flight – Record Journey and Technical Hurdles
The Artemis II mission launched on April 2, 2026, with four astronauts aboard, marking the first crewed flight to the Moon in over fifty years. The Orion spacecraft, equipped with a European service module, successfully completed a lunar flyby and broke the record for the farthest human journey in space. A software issue involving two non-functional Microsoft Outlook instances occurred aboard the spacecraft but was resolved remotely within an hour. The crew is now in the return phase and preparing for Earth re-entry on Saturday.
