KEY POINTS

NASA launched Artemis II on April 2, 2026, proudly carrying four astronauts in the Orion capsule—despite the capsule’s decade-old Microsoft Outlook glitch which NASA only fixed last minute. Aiming to break the human distance record with a 10-day lunar flyby, Artemis twists through years of delays, cold Florida weather setbacks, billions in budget overruns, and hardware hiccups since the Apollo 17 farewell in 1972. The mission’s crowning achievement includes a high-res spacecraft selfie during a solar wing inspection and an unprecedented Netflix livestream from space, because what’s more natural than watching moon orbit drama with popcorn? Artemis still promises a sustainable moon presence and sending the first woman there, proving lunar exploration is firmly stuck between pioneering and punchlines.
