What is Nasa's Artemis II mission?

Available for 29 days

Nasa's Artemis II mission will send four astronauts on the first crewed journey around the Moon in more than 50 years. The voyage is set to launch on 1 April from Florida. For the next two weeks — with new episodes every day — we’ll be running a special series from our space podcast, 13 Minutes Presents: Artemis Two. President Trump says he's negotiating with the Iranian leadership to end the war, but has renewed threats to hit its energy infrastructure. We hear from Iranians inside the country and look at the military options President Trump may be considering. As the war rages on, we've been speaking to Americans and the Iranian diaspora to get their reactions to the war. We hear some messages from them. Presenter: Rahul Tandon.
