Successful launch for Artemis II
The ground shakes as the huge American rocket - the most powerful rocket ever constructed - blasts off taking humanity to the Moon for the first time in 54 years.
Cheers rang out at Cape Canaveral in Florida as the mighty spacecraft reached over 1200mph in mere seconds.
The four astronauts are to orbit the Moon and become the furthest humans away from Earth in history in a mission to pave the way for humans to walk on the Moon once again....

Mission is to pave way for humans to walk on the Moon again.... and to walk on Mars
Sky News correspondent Thomas Moore watches Artemis II launch as humanity goes to the Moon once again.

After completing an engine thrust which greatly increased their speed and slingshotted them out of Earth's orbit around midnight UK time last night the four astronauts are expected to reach the Moon's orbit on Monday.
They have become the first people to leave Earth's orbit since 1972.

The Moon is further from Earth than probably most people think it is.
You could fit the other seven planets in the Solar System between Earth and the Moon.

That would depend on when they went to school. Us old folks had questions like that on tests. Today tests ask which colour card gets to speak first.
