Going to the moon? Been there, done that — right?
Some people might say that NASA's Artemis 2 mission, which is scheduled to launch no earlier than April 1, is a repeat of the past. After all, between 1968 and 1972, 24 American astronauts flying on nine Apollo missions journeyed to the moon. Even more so, three of those people flew twice, and six missions did more than just fly by or orbit the moon — they landed on the lunar surface. So what's the big deal with Artemis 2, and why is NASA describing the mission as "historic?"
