La NASA lanzó este miércoles la misión Artemis II, su misión más ambiciosa en décadas, ya que llevará a cuatro astronautas a la órbita lunar por primera vez desde hace más de 50 años.

Reid Wiseman, Christina Koch y Victor Glover y Jeremy Hansen son los protagonistas que viajan a la órbita del satélite natural desde la misión Apolo 17, en 1972.
