NASA is ready to launch the Artemis moon rocket on Monday

On Monday, NASA will launch the Artemis moon rocket. Here's how to view it.

The first mission in a complicated series of missions designed to facilitate further human exploration of the moon and eventually Mars will be launched by NASA on Monday morning.
The Artemis I project will launch an unmanned capsule around the moon for 42 days before it splashes back into the Pacific Ocean. The first Space Launch System will be launched during the operation.

Here are some details about the launch:
What shall I do, Artemis?
Testing Orion's new heat shield when it reenters Earth's atmosphere at 25,000 mph is Artemis I's first mission. The method that will probably result in one of the quickest reentries to date will require the capsule to endure the fiery plunge.

If everything goes as planned with the 322-foot rocket, an Artemis II mission with astronauts should accomplish roughly the same thing. As part of NASA's plan to send people back to the moon for the first time since 1972, Artemis III will then attempt to land two astronauts there sometime after 2025.

What you should know about the program for space launch systems

Years behind time and substantially over budget, the massive SLS rocket. Every time it launches, it will cost taxpayers $4.1 billion, according to the Office of Inspector General, NASA's internal watchdog.
To gather information on the strains the journey will put on future astronauts, an Orion spacecraft carrying unique mannequins named Moonikin Campos, Helga, and Zohar will be mounted atop the rocket. The spacecraft will depart Earth's orbit and start its 250,000-mile journey to the moon eight hours after launch. If all goes according to plan, it will spend more than a month orbiting the moon before returning to Earth and splashing down off San Diego.

What time will it launch?
The two-hour launch window at the Kennedy Space Center starts at 8:33 a.m. Weather forecasters claim that conditions are favorable.

However, NASA has two more chances to launch Artemis I.
