A historic journey that breaks records
After more than half a century, humanity is once again sending people near the Moon. The Artemis II program is not just a visual spectacle—it is the first real step in establishing a permanent human presence beyond Earth.
The crew that will make history
Four astronauts lead this unprecedented mission: Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch and Jeremy Hansen of the Canadian Space Agency. They are the first team to head to lunar orbit since the days of Apollo 13.
“This team is involved in the first manned trip to lunar orbit since the Apollo 13 era”
What makes Artemis II special are the numbers it will dial. The Orion spacecraft will surpass the record distance set by Apollo 13, becoming the furthest manned flight in history.
During approximately six hours of flyby, the crew will observe little-explored areas of the moon, including parts of the far side. But there’s a celestial bonus: you’ll witness a total solar eclipse from space, with the Moon completely covering the Sun and leaving the solar corona visible.
How to watch it live
For Mexico, the transmission begins this Monday at 12:00 p.m. (central time). The most exciting moment—the closest approach to the Moon—is scheduled for around 2:45 p.m.

This multi-platform coverage ensures that thousands can witness the human return to the lunar vicinity. It is not just another launch—it is the restart of an era of exploration that will lead to the establishment of permanent bases on our natural satellite.
