With the launch of Artemis II, Jim Head — who helped train astronauts, select landing sites and analyze samples during the Apollo Moon landings nearly 60 years ago — is excited about a new chapter in lunar exploration.

Artemis II is underway, carrying four astronauts around the moon on a 10-day mission to test systems for later lunar flights and an eventual moon base.

NASA has been called out on social media over the 'disappointing' Artemis II launch camera coverage that left people assuming the worst

William Wais, a former launch engineer for Apollo missions lives in Mauldin. He shared his thoughts on the Artemis II launch and his experiences with space exploration.

When Apollo 12, NASA's second lunar landing mission, launched from Kennedy Space Center, the space vehicle was struck by lightning— twice.

Tom Gaut was just a 17-year-old high school student when he witnessed one of humanity's greatest achievements unfold before his eyes.

A Sky News correspondent used the Artemis II launch to take a shot at the Apollo program, suggesting the original moon missions fell short of representing humanity because the astronauts were all white men.

In the same way that Artemis II serves as the first crewed flight to test technology for future missions to the moon and Mars, Apollo 8, which launched on Dec. 21, 1968, also served as a lunar landing preparation mission, preceding Apollo 11's July 1969 lunar landing.
