The Bedtime Scientist

A question

Are people going back to the Moon?

A calm, true answer. Then, if the wondering keeps going, the whole episode.

The short answer

Yes. Artemis II is planned to carry a crew around the Moon and home again, farther than anyone has travelled in over fifty years.

This flight does not land. It tests every seat, window and system with people aboard, so that a later crew can go down to the surface safely. From out there, Earth looks about four times wider than the full moon looks from your yard.
