The US space agency, NASA, is counting down to a high-stakes lunar launch. Space enthusiasts have flocked to Cape Canaveral in Florida, to watch the maiden mission of the Artemis program. Blast off is scheduled for 6:00 am ET. The plan is to send an unmanned capsule around the moon and back to earth. If all goes well, future flights will carry astronauts to eventually set foot on the moon again. Although beset by delays and cost overruns, Artemis aims to use the moon as a springboard to Mars.
