Artemis Two: First Humans to Moon's Far Side

0:00It's April 2nd. Welcome in. This is Global News Today, where the world meets AI. I'm Corey with the story. NASA's Artemis, two mission lifted off smooth on Wednesday, carrying four astronauts into orbit aboard the Orion capsule. This test flight is huge proving the ship's ready for deep space, with NASA's rep and the U.S. space lead on the line. Solar wings popped open right after launch, powering up the craft. Now they're running checks on life-support systems, making sure everything holds for the long haul. Back-up suits could keep the crew alive up to six days if needed. Crews all good, safe, and in high-spirits per NASA. Schedules are tight 30 minutes of daily exercise to fight muscle loss, plus custom meals like freeze-dried favorites rehydrated on board. Good news. The toilets fixed after a launch glitch, heads up for the Transluner injection burn tonight, that six-minute engine blasts links them out of Earth orbit toward the moon. If it works, no turning back easy. Monday they'll swing 6,400 miles past the moon's far side.
