American manned spacecraft Artemis II, carrying 4 astronauts inside, has been launched from Earth. After leaving Earth orbit, it will round the Moon before returning.

Artemis II will not land on the Moon, but upcoming projects will. The next ambition will be bases on the Moon, and missions to Mars.

Spaceflight has become much cheaper in recent years, allowing more private initiatives.
