As four astronauts get set to blast off on humanity's first trip to the moon in more than half a century, comparisons between Apollo and NASA's new Artemis program are inevitable. -
Mike Fincke, 59, said the episode lasted roughly 20 minutes and he felt fine afterward. He said he still does. He never experienced anything like that before or since. -
The Artemis crew won’t land on the moon this time or even orbit it, but the out-and-back journey will take them thousands of miles deeper into space than even the Apollo astronauts ventured. -
Fuel leaks and other rocket issues caused two months of delay and two hangar-to-pad rollouts. NASA is aiming for a launch as soon as Wednesday. -
NASA had barely finished a repeat fueling test Thursday when another problem cropped up. This time, the rocket’s helium system malfunctioned.
