Artemis II is due to take the crew further into space than anyone has gone before.

The mission won't land on the moon but will pass its far side - hopefully paving the way for a lunar landing in two years time.


Crowds packed roads and beaches near Cape Canaveral to watch the launch:

IN: "It was amazing…"
OUT: "...a universal event."
