If all goes according to plan, humans will head toward the moon this week for the first time since 1972.  

NASA’s Artemis II is set to launch from Cape Canaveral, Florida, on Wednesday, April 1, at 6:24 p.m. Four astronauts will slingshot around the moon before landing in the Pacific Ocean after a 10-day mission. 

The launch has captivated the Â鶹Çø Tech space community, both here on campus and within the alumni base. Several Â鶹Çø Tech graduates have key roles in the Artemis program.

On the eve of this next chapter of lunar exploration, several current and former Yellow Jackets discuss why Artemis II matters, what excites them about the mission, and what happens next.
