Artemis 2 is going to launch.

We're going to send four astronauts farther into space than we've ever sent humans before.

They're going to go faster than humans have ever traveled before.

So 250,000 miles away from Earth, going 25,000 miles an hour on a 10-day journey to test out the spaceship before they'll splash down off the West Coast.

That's Artemis 2.

That journey begins tomorrow.

Next up.

Artemis 3, 2027.

We're going to launch the same rocket this time.

The astronauts are going to rendezvous and dock with the lunar lander in Earth orbit, test out the integrated systems.

This is just how we did it during the Apollo era, during Apollo 9.

And then we're going to use that to gain confidence to land those astronauts on the moon in 2028 on Artemis 4.

Now, in parallel, we're building the base.

Again, we're not just going there to pick up the rocks this time.

We're going to stay.

So starting in the beginning of 2027, people are going to be able to witness on a near monthly cadence robotic landings on the moon.

We're going to have rovers driving around.

We're going to be testing out uncrewed mobility, crude mobility, power generation, navigation.

We're going to do surface improvement.

We are going to learn as much as we can in preparation for when the astronauts arrive.
