About this episode
We decode Artemis II—the first crewed lunar mission since 1972. Over 10 days, Orion Integrity launches on a towering SLS, performs a lunar flyby via the European Service Module, and validates life support, heat shielding, and a crucial manual docking capability. Meet the four-person crew—Reed Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen—and learn why this flyby is the bridge to Artemis III and humanity’s path to Mars.
