The countdown to launch Artemis II, the first crewed flight around the moon since 1972, is nearing its closeness. The mission was previously delayed due to a hydrogen rocket fuel leak and a helium leak. The launch pad is also being examined for correct connection between the vehicle and the pad. The 10-day journey will take the astronauts 600,000 miles around the Moon and back.
