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.

This launch is the first flight test of the Artemis program.
The Orion capsule will orbit the moon, coming within about 80 miles of its surface, and its maximum distance from the Earth will be 268,553 miles — surpassing a record set by NASA's Apollo 13 mission in 1970. NASA has been trying to launch its Artemis rocket for months, but was stymied by technical glitches and two hurricanes.
The space agency has been working towards this launch for over a decade, since it retired its space shuttle program in 2011.
