Hu said that Artemis I's success was not just a historic day for NASA but also for all humans who love space flight and deep space exploration. Inside the Orion capsule are mannequins that will be measuring the impacts of cosmic radiation on the human body.īefore the launch on Wednesday, there were two previous launch attempts in August and September due to technical issues and unsuitable weather conditions. NASA successfully launched the new powerful rocket known as the Space Launch System (SLS) last week, sending the uncrewed Orion spacecraft on its way toward the Moon. Orion is currently 83,300 miles (134,000km) from the Moon and will return to Earth in December.

Hu told Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg that the Artemis I launch was "a historic day for human space flight" as it is the first step towards deep space exploration, like setting up habitats on the Moon and beyond.
