The Artemis 1 mission is off to a good start, the first of which is sending remarkable images of Earth while on its way to the moon.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Artemis 1 mission is off to a good start, according to officials, after some technical delays.
One of those images is a look back at our planet Earth, offering up a déjà vu of sorts that conjures up memories of the Apollo missions between 1968 and 1972. The nine Apollo missions consisted of crewed trips in spacecraft with three astronauts in each, traveling to the moon. Six of those missions brought astronauts all the way to the moon to successfully land, and three of the astronauts went twice. Just the last three missions saw a full view of Earth.
