The first crewed moon mission since the Apollo era will launch a week from today, if all goes according to plan.
It will be the first human spaceflight mission for NASA's Artemis program, Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and Orion capsule, and the first crewed trip beyond low Earth orbit since Apollo 17 way back in 1972.
NASA is apparently still targeting April 1 for the liftoff of Artemis 2, which will send four astronauts on a 10-day journey around the moon and back to Earth.
