Astronaut Tim Peake has expressed pride in the UK's involvement in the Artemis II mission, the first manned flight to the moon in 50 years. The mission, which will see four astronauts fly around the moon without landing, marks a significant milestone in space exploration.
Peake described the experience the crew will undergo, from launch to entering space and seeing Earth from a distance for the first time. He highlighted the mission's importance as a landmark in space exploration, pushing humans deeper into space than ever before.
Guardian journalist Richard Luscombe reported from Cape Canaveral, where the rocket will launch, detailing the atmosphere ahead of the 10-day mission. The Artemis II mission is set to launch this week, carrying astronauts further into space than any previous crewed mission.
