The crew announcement will be April 3 (Monday!) at 11am EDT (1500 GMT). I plan on watching!
Four astronauts will be chosen to travel further from Earth than humans have been in over 50 years. Artemis II will orbit the moon, during which systems will be tested. We may also get some cool pictures of the moon.
They will also be testing gravity maneuvers to save fuel on the return trip. The Earth is "downhill" compared to the moon and they hope to use that fact.
And they'll get to wear those cool new suits. Anyone else a bit jealous?
