NASA's Artemis I launch has the world excited for Monday

This exploration will be the second mission to the Moon since 1972.

By the end of 2025, NASA will send two astronauts—including the—to land at the Moon's south pole while up to two others will stay in lunar orbit in a command module after Artemis I's successful return.

The first woman and the second man to walk on the Moon could do so at 13 distinct locations around the lunar south pole aboard the Artemis III. This will be the first mission of its kind. "It's a long way away from the Apollo sites," Sarah Noble, Artemis I lunar science lead for NASA's Planetary Science Division,"All six Apollo landing sites were in the sort of central part of the near side . And now we're going to someplace completely different in ancient geologic terrain."

Artemis I is scheduled to launch from NASA's Kennedy Space Center's Pad 39B on Monday at 8:33 a.m. EDT .
