December 7, 1972 was the launch of the final mission in NASA's Apollo moon program. Fifty years later, NASA finally seems poised to return people to the lunar surface.

NASA's Artemis moon rocket has finally launched after months of setbacks, from fuel leaks to hurricanes. If successful, the mission signals a big step toward returning humans to the moon.

The space agency has been trying for months to send its giant moon rocket on its first test flight. The goal is to send a crew capsule, with no astronauts on board, around the moon and back.

The rocket was kept on the launch pad despite Hurricane Nicole sweeping through the Kennedy Space Center on Thursday.

It was found by divers filming a documentary for the History Channel.

This was SpaceX’s fourth flight of a Falcon Heavy, currently the most powerful rocket in use.

The James Webb Space Telescope has captured NASA's most detailed image of the Pillars of Creation that is helping scientists better understand how stars form.

The Artemis I mission is now targeting a launch from Kennedy Space Center Monday, Nov. 14. The 69-minute launch window opens at 12:07 a.m.

Mann is a Marine Corps pilot, NASA astronaut and member of the Wailacki tribe of the Round Valley Indian Tribes.

NASA said it will continue to watch the development and forecast of the storm.

Teams will keep monitoring the forecast and decide no later than Saturday whether to delay the test flight and haul the rocket off the pad.

NASA is on course for a possible launch attempt Tuesday, provided the U.S. Space Force extends the certification of batteries on board that are part of the flight safety system.
