As NASA prepares to kick off the Artemis missions, experts have noticed a potentially dangerous issue with a crucial component: the newly designed spacesuits.
If the fueling test goes well, the Artemis II flight around the moon and back could take off as early as Feb. 8.
The first manned mission of the Artemis program won’t land on the moon, but it aims to take four astronauts farther from the Earth than anyone has gone before.
Artemis II will then use the push from Orion’s service module to break free from Earth’s orbit. It will take four days to go around the far side of the Moon and then return to Earth using the Earth-Moon gravity field. The daring journey will end in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of San Diego.
What smartphones do the astronauts actually use? Are these Android users or Apple stans?
