NASA’s Artemis II mission will launch this evening, humanity’s first flight to the moon since 1972.
The launch is scheduled for 23:24pm British Summer Time (18:24 EDT) from the Kennedy Space Centre in Florida, with the countdown clock scheduled since Monday.
After weeks of fuel leaks and other issues, things seem to be going NASA’s way as they proceed toward launch.
Officials reported moon rocket was doing well on the pad, and the weather looked promising, with forecasters putting the odds of favourable conditions at 80%.
“Everybody’s pretty excited and understands the significance of this launch,” said senior test director Jeff Spaulding.
