It's been nearly fifty years since Apollo 17 astronauts left the lunar surface.  It was the last time the United States sent a manned mission to the moon.

But, engineers at NASA are in final preparations to begin a new series of space flight that aims to return there.  It begins with Artemis 1, and the rocket technology tested at the Stennis Space Center in Mississippi.

Nasa Engineer Tristan Mooney shares more with our Kobee Vance.
