Final countdown to Nasa’s Artemis II launch | BBC News
Nasa is sending four people on a ten-day trip around the Moon in its Artemis II mission.
The crew includes three Nasa astronauts – Commander Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover and Christina Koch – along with Jeremy Hansen of the Canadian Space Agency. They will be the first in more than 50 years to orbit the moon.
It’s set to blast off from the Kennedy Space Centre launch site at 18:24 local time on Wednesday (23:24 BST).
The mission will take its astronauts further into space than anyone has been before, and aims to set the stage for an eventual human moon landing for the first time since the Apollo missions of the 1960s and 70s.
The BBC’s Science Editor Rebecca Morelle is at the Kennedy Space Centre ahead of the launch.

US President Donald Trump has posted on Truth Social, warning: “a whole civilisation will die tonight, never to be brought back again” unless Iran reaches a deal on reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
Trump has given Iran a deadline of 20:00 EDT Tuesday (00:00 GMT / 01:00 BST on Wednesday) to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
The threat came one day after Trump said the US would destroy “every bridge” and power station in Iran if a deal isn’t reached.
Meanwhile, his Vice President JD Vance – speaking at a press conference in Budapest – says that it’s up to Iran to “come to the table”, or the “economic situation in Iran will continue to be very, very bad”.
In mainland Iran, two people have reportedly been killed after a strike on a railway bridge, while train services have been cancelled, according to reports from Iranian media.

US President Donald Trump says he has agreed to a proposed two-week ceasefire between the US and Iran if shipping traffic is allowed to move through the Strait of Hormuz.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has announced Iran will agree to a ceasefire “if attacks against Iran are halted”.
The US president had set a deadline of 20:00 EDT (01:00 GMT) for a deal or else “a whole civilisation will die tonight”.
Pakistan, which has been acting as a mediator, called on Trump to extend his deadline for two weeks, and has invited both sides for talks in Islamabad on Friday.

Sir Olly Robbins, the former chief Foreign Office official, was ousted by Starmer on Thursday after it was revealed that Mandelson had failed the foreign office vetting programme. The key questions are still to be answered formally over who knew what, and when.
The PM is set to appear in the Commons on Monday, and Olly Robbins is expected to be grilled by MPs on Tuesday. But how exactly did we get here? What are the key questions Starmer and Robbins need to answer? And could this be the final nail in the coffin for Keir Starmer’s premiership?
