The first manned mission to the Moon in more than 50 years is "ready to go" after final tests, Nasa has said. Artemis II is expected to launch on March 6, and aims to send humans further than ever before into space. The mission isn't to land on the moon, but circle it, with the four North American astronauts getting to see the dark side of the Moon - something we never get to see. It's a major step in the new space race between the US and China to see who can return to the Moon first.
