Artemis I, the most powerful rocket ever, will launch a critical uncrewed test flight on August 29 for a 42-day mission orbiting the moon. If the flight goes well, humans could orbit the moon within two years. NBC News’ Tom Costello reports from NASA’s training pool in Houston where engineers and astronauts are already testing new space suit designs for future moon walks.

NASA never landed on moon 🌝
Moon landing was fake
If the US wants to troll China they should send the first Asian of Chinese American heritage to the moon before China does.
Good Idea….China thanks
No need
Two white men already been there
50 + years ago..
Another notch in the belt
For the white man..
Chinese Americans are not close to China in terms of appearance, height, body shape, culture, diet, etc. just like some people describe the stereotype that Chinese people are short. In fact, they are more like several branches of China’s diversity. Different from the past few centuries, although the diversity is increasing, the population is still only 5 million. Most of these latecomers are in the U S’s middle class, elites or upstarts. China is a very powerful country, which is reflected in many aspects. The development is good. On average, a new round of qualitative changes will occur in 5-10 years. Today’s China is capable of leading a new round of technological revolution
Why don’t you tell the whole story. This is a project with zero future. They only have enough rockets to fulfill their original contract to test and launch a couple of flights, if nothing fails along the way. Then there will be no more Artemis. It is simply a dead end project designed to use up junked leftovers from the shuttle program. It’s only aim is to recoup lost profits for the company after the shuttle program was scrapped. It has nothing to do with the future for anything or anyone.
It sure is funny it’s takeing years to figure out how to go to the moon again !!!! Doesn’t add up
Nah spacex starship is better
Women are always late to the party
Please launch once make it work and DONT do it again. This project is so failed and wayyy over budget. Just trust the public sector NASA please
You have to ask Elon Musk how many times spacex has failed
Self sustainable moon base within my lifetime would make me a happy little human
Keep dreaming, maybe 50 years time !
@Steven Vitali yeah it will take about 30 to 50 years
@Steven Vitali I’ll be just retired!
@V S I will be dead lol, or 98 years old !
We never went to the moon in the first place my people wake up
At least we are going now, watch their newest vid
hopefully this aint another challenger mission
Space race 1: US vs USSR.
Space race 2: US-NASA vs US-Musk vs China.
Just land a black woman. 2 achievement with one seat.
one way😁😁😁
Thank God minorities are going to the moon…wait…or are they simply qualified astronauts like all other astronauts before them🤔🤔🤔? I’m confused.
hahahahahaha nasa is a joke now,,,hahhahaahahha,,,give it up too old too big too many politicians calling the shot,,,they end up fking things up,,,let the private sector take lead,,look at musk,,,,,he good example,,remember anything the goverment controls,,it fks it up,,,,,,.
Why can’t we just use the same space suit that worked flawlessly 50 years ago ? And why does it take over 40 days to get to the moon when it only took 3 days during the Apollo missions ?
It wasn’t flawless. Success is not the same as being flawless; there are several areas of improvement possible.
Artemis will take one to weeks long because it is performing different maneuvers and traveling at a different velocity. 40 days is the duration of the entire mission.
it doesn’t take 40 days.
Lol flawless? This guy knows nothing
I had to replay it to make shore he said 42 days .it should only take 3 to 4 days to go there and come back
Artemis ones taking a more Unique flight path for all the other missions it’ll only be 2 to 3 days
NASA launching rockets like it’s 1969😅….guess I shouldn’t laugh because they’re the ones ripping off the American public by using outdated means of transportation and inefficient use of funds. That is why they lost their funding in the first place and lost the public’s trust. NASA is a money pit with little or no results, just more “dreams” and goals that will never be realized. Oh their gonna land on the moon?? Oh wow 🙄
Weeeeeeeee CGI
Heck yeah!!! Let’s get back to the moon!!!
На луне не было человека
Yes Back to the Moon to clean up Apollo’s trash
Woke joke…and i aint even white
The rocket is called SLS, Artemis is the program , is what Saturn V is to Apollo
Disposable is not a good plan for our future
Booster reusability is great, but has drawbacks.
First, if you don’t have a fast enough launch cadence, you can spend more on recovery than you save by reusing the booster.
Second, you take a payload hit for the recovery system on the booster. The Falcon 9 B5 can lift up to 22.8 tons to LEO when expended, but only up to 16.3 tons when landed on a drone ship (B1051.12). Doing a Return to Launch Site (RTLS) landings, costs even more payload.
So with SLS launching once or twice a year, the cadence doesn’t really justify recovering the booster. Not to mention that it gets higher and faster than a Falcon 9.
The SLS Block 1 can get Orion to the Moon, but not with the kind of payload hit like F9 has. The SLS Block 1B will send along a Lunar Gateway module with Orion, so it really can’t take the payload hit either.
SLS started design work in 2011, 4 years before SpaceX landed the first booster and almost 6 years before they reused a booster.
🌒 lua de feliz 🇧🇷 ❤️❤️ … Hoje para NASA 🇺🇸
Lol! There’s nothing on the moon! We’ll never go to Mars.
Exactly. Even if we did go to mars, we will walk around, take some photos and come home. Theres no resources of any kind on mars.
….and China’s Lunar Lander will look exactly like Apollo’s old design. Lmao.
The number of citations of high-quality scientific papers in China exceeds U.S
China will win this race.
at, 0:17, why did the program director add the soundeffect of machine gun fire to the sound of the rocket engine firing? It’s a sound effect that was added: the audio track in the original nasa animation is much different. https://youtu.be/u2nod-ek7ys?t=61
It’s subversive editing, but doesn’t mean it’s subliminal. Thinks that explode, make a popping sound. If a thing with eyes is there to see something, if that something makes noise, the thing with eyes will likely also hear it.
Weird thing …. not a good edit in my critical view.
Nasa, just like most other government agencies , is a joke.
So… woke Apollo?
Great is Artemis of the Ephesians………………could that be an omen? Or a Warning? 🤔
Apollo’s twin sister…
@Isaac Pope Artemis is NOTHING like the Saturn 5. Not even close.
@Dexter Williams I think you’re conflating SLS and Artemis…
4 billion per launch, a figure by NASA, which means 8 billion at the least per launch….1960’s technology rehashed…. there is no future for that.
Nasa sucks . They haven’t done anything that we really know of forever.. they are all talk.. with the amount of money supposedly going to them , they should be all over our galaxy by now.. all taxpayer funded and no transparency with them.. Elon musk is going to do so much more with less moneys..i wouldn’t put another cent into them..
Artemis won’t do anything since it is too expensive for tax payers. Maybe SpaceX will do something significant for consistant, cheaper, moon transport.
Leaving Earth’s atmosphere with manned Space flight is now considered as a hostile act! He’s great… Fair warning?
Come on… Starship waiting.. 😩
Starship being like WHAT YOU SAY TO ME?
Yeah… This kinda seems like damage contrrol over the recent issue on the ISS’s failed space walk via a fail in the well aged spacesuit.
Yup they just got funding for five missions to the moon and build a new giant rocket in a week all for damage control
@Mr Guy absolute nonsense
@Mr Guy ….. Well. lol fair enough. I kinda just meant the focus at the last half of the video to focus on the space suits. Myyyy badddd.
Don’t buy into any of this. It is just a massive psyop—just like the old Apollo moon landings were.
Very true, will be interesting to see how they avoid showing high quality HD photos of the stuff Apollo left behind,
Um ya Nasa can’t land on the moon that would be SpaceX, man you media trash love to omit the truth.
We are going back to the moon, guys. Time to prove those dumb conspiracy theorists wrong.
Imagine going to the moon not because of your skills but something you have zero control over. Gender or color. That can’t feel that good.
I’m pretty sure they are skilled if they are NASA astronauts, you should have forwarded this question to the USAF, they are the ones who used to ban qualified black pilots and astronauts from flying. I guess it was affirmative action for the European Americans.
Why does NASA turn off the comments on their channel? This is cool. I mean it’s taken a long time to do what they for the 1st time way back in the 60s once again today. But I get some of it at least. It’s too bad it all stalled a bit after that, we could potentially be so much further today if resources went towards this kind of thing instead of say wars and corrupt governments etc. But I just wonder where the NASA freedom of speech is at? Too many muskets’ in their comments or something
People expose them for being fake and liars, they need to hide the truth
@Ip2rarelywins lol mkaaaaay. I don’t think that’s why but mkaaaaay
America has to get there first to plant all the apollo evidence and the flag. Lolz
Why is it going to take 42 days to go to the moon an back .it should only take 4 days
For all mankind….
CEPT GAYS …
❤️
It has token astronauts so it must be awesome!
After all this will have war on the moon lol
NASA always lying! Man never been to the moon🤣. Stop lying NASA you never show anything about outer space without using CGI! They have zero footages of a moon landing. Only 🐑sheep🐑 believes these SATANIST
Welp, there goes the neighborhood. I’m imagining that being said by Archie Bunker.
Lmao
and that is with only 0.5 % of the national budged..
What about the shadow creatures that told Apollo 17 to never return? 🤣🤣
they have space force now
Why is no one talking about Wall Street over speculation of oil fueling Russians war and destroying America,wake up America it’s Wall Street
Competition fuels the space race.
Someday, I’ll save enough money to get off this stupid planet
Theres no where to go, no matter how much money you have. I understand feeling that this planet is stupid, but my advice to you is to get a house in the woods on the outskirts of a small town. That will give you the feeling of getting away from at all that you’re looking for. You won’t find that on a hellscape empty rock in space.
@lander seven What if the lumber corporations decide to raze the forest or the woodlands becomes another dangerous hazard of forest fires due to climate change?
It will not make it!!
A person of color and a woman ?
didnt we try that with our VP….
We went to the moon 50 years ago but now it’s going to take years to do it again, wtf ???
My iPhone has more computing power than NASA’s entire computer system had in the 60’s.
Hey NASA, wanna borrow my iPhone ?
@Potato Salad What won’t be different is there is nothing on the moon. It seems we are treating the moon like the summit of Mt Everest. Its an achievement to get there but there’s nothing actually there.
@lander seven there is millions of tons of water actually.
@Potato Salad Even if there is, so what? Theres still no air, no food, little gravity, no electromagnetic shield to protect you from cosmic rays. Its just a rock in the sky.
@lander seven build a lunar colony so we dont all get wiped out by a cataclysmic disaster.
Lunar regolith is enough of a shield and oxygen can be extracted from water.
@Potato Salad Its easy to imagine, another thing to actually make happen. Basically everyone would have to live underground or in ugly solid structures their whole life. It would be like living in a super max prison. And the low gravity will progressively damage the human body. Trying to live on the moon, or mars is like a fish trying to live outside of water.
What about Muhammad splitting moon into two.
mind boggling that it’s been this many years since the last humans on the moon and their preparing for it like it’s their first time !
Case closed.
@F100 FE390 We will never know the truth, but it’s very likely they never went.
@Charlie D He was talking about the F1 engines that powered the Saturn V, the problem wasn’t that the design was lost, but that the Notes used by the craftsmen who built the engines were lost… as it stands NASA could easily rebuild the F1 engine better and more powerful for a cool 5 billion dollars… but congress isn’t willing to pay for that, and NASA has no need.
For the first time ever, humans will actually be on the lunar surface
7th bruh
@DESMOND ANAND I don’t believe the first 6 times were real. There’s way too much work being put into this for it to happen that easily 50+ years ago.
I’m excited though!
50 years before the Apollo program landed the first astronauts on the moon, humans were flying biplanes made of wood and canvas. It would be another 10 years before the first successful solo flight across the Atlantic. And there we were, in 1969, watching a man walk on the moon. Incredibly impressive. Now, 50+ years *after* Apollo 11, we are close to… landing more astronauts on the moon using almost exactly the same technology and mission plan as before, complete with massively expensive and wasteful non-reusable rockets and command module/lunar lander. But this time it will be a woman and a person of color. Because that’s the important thing that NASA can hang its hat on. Ah, yes. I remember thinking how proud I was as a white male when we landed the first white males on the moon and Neil Armstrong uttered that famous line, “That’s one small step for a white male, one giant leap for all white males.” I KNEW we would be first! (/sarcasm) So somehow, I’m not all that impressed with Artemis. Let me know when you land the first (handicapped transsexual Asian) humans on Mars. Then I’ll be impressed with the achievement.
Great points you’ve made. I’m 75 years old/young and I was glued to the coverage of Apollo 11 even staying up one whole night listening to communications between Houston and the guys on the moon. I even got crazy and bought and assembled a Command Module and LEM hooked together and hung it from the ceiling in our living room as a conversation piece. But if this whole space exploration thing is to locate another “Earth” for humanity to relocate to, all I’ve got to say is…….it ain’t gonna happen! A seven month trip to Mars ALONE with a crew of super smart and qualified persons doesn’t guarantee success. Even if there’s no mechanical failure or glitches of any sort, it doesn’t sound like a wise choice.
1:43 practicing planting the American Flag in a pool. The sheeple who believe this are so stupid.
The buoyancy of the water simulates the moon’s low gravity. It’s not stupid at all, this is done to train for every single space mission, and done by air force pilots training for different G forces
Can’t wait for another fake moon landing….
It’s not Artemis, it’s Starship that’s going to change the future of travel
Artemis will get there first. In the future… lol
To whole system is too expensive, its just like a modern Apollo program, the reusable route of SpaceX is much more promising.
In 2022, why do officials of whatever department or level of government insist on pointing out that a female or a person of color will be part of the expedition? Who freaking cares? Just say x-number of astronauts will be flying the mission.
Geez, just keep on separating We The People
What about the 1st trans person?
If every presidential administration didn’t keep changing NASA’s main goal and congress would have gave them funding, we would have had a permanent presence on the moon a long time ago.
Glad we got extra money to waste on this
What a waste of money
What’s it made of? Apparently the atmosphere is so difficult to penetrate that it literally turns giant spaces rocks into tiny little pebbles that fall gracefully to Earth. What is stronger than rock?
@Bear Greendale “that era” … the 60s isn’t that far away, and the tech used for this today really isn’t much different. stop with the nonsense that tech started yesterday.
@Bear Greendale Ceramic can survive the extreme heat of reentry, but it’s very heavy. The thermal tiles used on missions in the 60s were quite impressive because they used a special, lightweight, ceramic-like material that could dissipate heat in seconds.
@Muffinconsumer4 It must be pretty strong to break through the atmosphere not once but twice and be able to float around in the vacuum of space for months. Seems like with that accomplishment there really is nothing we cannot do. You’d have to assume that it takes a lot of fuel to accomplish something like that. How big are the fuel tanks?
@Bear Greendale That’s a good question too. For the apollo missions, the tanks were absolutely enormous, using almost 4.2 million pounds of fuel. But by shedding the tanks in stages, it made it easier every time to accelerate even faster. If you look up a space shuttle launch, you’ll see a big red tank on the bottom that has two huge tanks inside for liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen.
“Artemis” is the name of a character in my series of books. 🙂 It’s a male, but I won’t give away anything about the relevance of the name…
🐲✨🐲✨🐲✨
???
Since China will also be on the Moon, it means we can have a space war. After all, when the US Space Force was announce a couple years ago, space was officially declared to be a war fighting domain. Welcome to WW3 everyone.
Ugh, with the money they spend on traveling to the moon, they could use to help world poverty and hunger.
NASA is lying they are not going to the moon, however they just showed us how they will deceive the masses through clever CGI and swimming pools . 💀👍🏻🤣 #FLATEARTH
I really hope the moon doesnt get used as a weapon in any way over the course of the future… hopefully it stays a respected achievment of human-kind.
Proof that we’ve never been to the moon
Total hoax
this overpriced piece of junk will not make it to space…it will blow up …such a waste…btw…no one has ever been to the moon…interesting little fact for you…
Oh good, they are bringing political correctness to the Moon 🌙.
Now for the first time someone will be nagged on the moon.
We were told for 50 years radiation was utterly trivial. Anyone who questioned Van Allen was an insane heretic. Now, we need massive shielding and an unmanned test flight with 34 radiation sensors on crash dummies with ZERO mission timing until we understand the potentially lethal amount of radiation. Complete fraud.
The entire program is nothing without musk and SpaceX. Boeing? fail Blue origin? big fail and Nasa= old money sucking dinosaur
Two questions;
1. Why?
2. USA gave Ukraine 50 billion. Where is the money coming from to fund this? The t-shirts they sell?
So NASA is woke now??? 🙄
They never went to sleep they are always working.
So happy to see this happening! Hope I get to watch a moonwalk in the next couple years! Finally, we’re picking up where the Apollo pioneers left off!
Hopefully late 25/26
❤️❤️❤️🇺🇲❤️❤️
Nazis are sending people again back to the moon??
We are entering new chapter of extinction, do something about eart NASA! Forget the moon
It’s funny how this is happening just at the time they start talking about UFOs in the media. All this is in fact all apart of the JP Morgan plan ,(lol) ,a secret government project. Their motto is: if we can’t put a meter on it ,then we don’t want it.! And we’re going to tell all the people that we keep stealing gas money and electric bill money from that that aliens are a national security threat and they’re very scary so we’re going to have to spend trillions to stop them and declare war. We know we have 0 energy technology And other technology that we could share with the world so everybody could benefit..No! screw the world,We’ll just weaponize it instead. And even though they have it on good authority that aliens are here just because we decided to test atomic weapons and other civilizations got concerned about it and they’re monitoring us so that we don’t blow ourselves up or start an interstellar war… And it really doesn’t matter that these aliens are not shooting at us or causing any concern we have to make it look like they’re the bad guys and spend more of the world’s money so we can maintain our state of power and our greed.Get ready for the false flag interstellar war that the dark sides of the military industrial government greedsters are creating. This World is in crisis in so many different ways and they have the ability to change it all and stop it and they won’t because they don’t care. They just want your money…….. nothing else matters.
everybody here in our great country. You have to really consider the fact that Bad actors in our government have actually shot these craft down because they consider et a threat to their big money game here. A lot of these people don’t know how to handle the changes that Is would come with free energy. What happens to all that revenue stream.? They would rather avoid dealing with the changes and let the world self destruct.
It will definitely change the future of the Moon travel cause history didn’t exist of American man going to Moon.
Think about it, the US gov said the China wants to colonize the Moon…
Oh yeah…thats what we want….
didn’t we do this 50 years ago…nothing like reinventing the wheel…
So are they really going this time 🙄?
Most of the NASA space program is a hoax.
The Achilles Heel of the NASA space program hoax is the EVA spacesuit because it could be PROVEN on Earth today.
NASA must PROVE before independent Citizen witnesses an EVA spacesuit in a vacuum chamber on Earth at 1 microtorr, something never done in sixty years of alleged EVA spacesuit use.
NASA won’t because they can’t because they’ve been committing fraud against the Citizens of the United States.
The money wasted on this is umfathomable…..lets spend it on looking after the Earth …..Unbeleivable Waste.
