Orion's interior space is equivalent to that of two minivans, NASA says. That's a lot more breathing room than space capsules of the 1960s and '70s.

They’ll be itching for a giant leap when this is done. Life onboard Artemis II’s moon-bound spaceship will be a cramped and possibly smelly affair. And it’s not a huge improvement from the last time mankind journeyed into deep space more than 50 years ago.

Artemis II's roughly six-hour lunar flyby Monday is due to set a distance record for human spaceflight and promises views of the lunar far side and a solar eclipse.

NASA's Artemis II crew prepares for a historic lunar flyby aboard the Orion spacecraft and SLS rocket, traveling farther into space than any humans since Apollo.

The windows on the Orion spacecraft are already dirty. The four astronauts aboard Artemis II spend so much time pressing their faces against the glass to stare back at their home planet that mission commander Reid Wiseman actually radioed Houston to ask for window-cleaning procedures.

In this video, we focus on the Saturn V rocket, which launched the Apollo spacecraft into orbit. Notably, there were 13 successful launches of the Saturn V. The journey to the moon is discussed, highlighting that during the Apollo 11 mission,

The Saturn V was meant for deep space missions like the SLS and Starship but was very different from the modern rockets.
