President Donald Trump on Tuesday celebrated NASA’s Artemis II mission, which is set to send U.S. astronauts beyond low-Earth orbit for the first time in more than five decades.
The president released a statement ahead of the Artemis II mission launch.
“Tonight at 6:24 P.M. EST, for the first time in over 50 YEARS, America is going back to the Moon! Artemis II, among the most powerful rockets ever built, is launching our Brave Astronauts farther into Deep Space than any human has EVER gone.”
“We are WINNING, in Space, on Earth, and everywhere in between — Economically, Militarily, and now, BEYOND THE STARS. Nobody comes close! America doesn’t just compete, we DOMINATE, and the whole World is watching.”
“God bless our incredible Astronauts”
The Artemis program was established during President Donald Trump’s first term in 2017 as part of a broader push to return American astronauts to the moon.

Maybe the mission is to drop of Trump on the moon and return home and let him stay there – art of the deal
what is the current status and where is the Artemis II now
Cc. Ccccccccccc
I love rocket video😊😊❤
If yall believe they going to the moon you stupid and been deceived again
Totally not fake. The challenger disaster mission was fake too.. they all alive still
Dont forget to destroy all the technology and lose every bit of data from the mission after they return.
WHY YOU SHOWING THIS? THE LADIES ON THE VIEW SAY THIS IS RACIST. Sign me up for the next launch.
Four brave Astronauts strapped themselves to the top of a Megaton Rocket in order to expand the human space endeavor… Only true Hero’s do that! Can’t wait for the Moon fly by pictures, going to be Epic!!!! 🤓🥳🤘
Good
There are no people in that rocket.
In every video you can see cable car descending back toward Earth immediately after launch… There are no f people inside rocket 👌
My question is:
The typical Radiation Belt But—
How is it the Elephants foot now produces 100 roentgens (Radiation belt amount) and currently is exposed due to Ukraine attacking it. But they don’t have or aren’t building Robots/Suits with the materials you use to remove it safely or even been a problem for 40 years? You think he’d clean it up and us it if it was so simple to get around??? (Incase it in a metal ball instead of concrete!?!?!?)
You start questioning “Really good engineering” when we all should know this is just another political stunt for that 20bil investment you’re asking the Government for. To give us more choppy/Low resolution footage in 2026 with constant excuses.
Edit: Also if the new Earth Picture has stars in it that must mean the sun was Behind the Earth during that photo because your old Moon to Earth picture had to have the sun blocking the shot with light pollution-Unless they said it was behind earth too.
PS: Save America
A waste of money
Was Steven Spielberg available for directing this “mission”? ’cause Stanley Kubrick is no longer on Planet Earth 😉 And April 1st is not a random date, but did anybody notice 😀
Notice how they only do “successful missions” when war is occurring.
But I heard earth was flat. BAD joke. Lets Go NASA!
