Four astronauts blasted off from Florida on NASA’s Artemis II mission, a high-stakes voyage around the moon that marks the United States’ boldest step yet toward returning humans to the lunar surface later this decade in a race with China.

A ‌few hours ⁠after liftoff, the SLS rocket’s upper stage successfully separated from the Lockheed Martin-made Orion capsule and its propulsion module. The crew then began work on an early test objective: manually steering the spacecraft around the upper stage to demonstrate its maneuverability, should its default automated controls ever fail.
