From Monday to 30 March, the BBC's Space Podcast 13 minutes presents will be the place to go for all the latest news and updates.
“Here's Space Scientist Maggie Adairin Pococ with more.”
And as we leave, the Moon and Torx was closer. We leave as we came, and God willing, as we still return. We'll see, and hope, flow and time. God's need to crew the Apollo 17. It's moving half a century since anyone went to the moon. The Apollo missions came to an end in 1972.
But now, humans are set to return.
NASA's Artemis 2 mission was to send four astronauts to loop around the moon. Hit me, then they fluggish from Earth, then any human in history.
“And if humans are returning to missions around the moon, well, the BBC's Space Podcast 30 minutes.”
13, 12. Has to return to… 13 minutes is coming back. With 30 minutes presents, Artemis 2. I'm Maggie Adairin Pococococ. I'm a Space Scientist, specializing in space telescopes.
And I've been obsessed with space since a young age.
And if you haven't yet discovered 13 minutes, previous seasons have told the story of the first moon landing,
but need is after of Apollo 13, and the Space Shuttle story. And now, I'm going to be bringing you a space story in real time. As it happens, every day for around two weeks, we'll have the latest news. And we'll get to understand the details of the mission. And we'll hear from the people who are making it happen.
We have thousands of people that have brought us to this moment. The thousands of people that have been working near 24/7 preparing us for this rollout. The thousands of people across the country that trained and prepared this crew to undertake this mission. The controllers that will look out for them on space, the recovery crews that will bring them safely home to their family at the conclusion of their 10-day journey.
With me in the pod for this special series of 13 minutes, we have an astronaut, 10 peak. Tim spent 186 days on an international space station. During which time he conducted a space walk, Lanna Marathon, and performed a 250 experiments. Having lived and worked in space, I know just how extraordinary these missions are. Not only for the astronauts, but for everyone on the ground who makes them possible.
Until now, fewer than 700 people have had the privilege of going into space. That number could increase remarkably in the coming years. An Artemis II could well represent the beginning of that new age. Alongside us, we'll be Christine Fisher, former Space Correspondent at CNN. And hopefully, Christine won't be mentioning that both her parents were Space Shuttle astronauts.
Yeah, Maggie, I grew up surrounded by astronauts in Space Light, but Artemis II does feel different. This is the beginning of a whole new era of exploration. We rise together back to the moon and beyond. As well as Tim and Christine, we'll have the expertise of the BBC News Science Team II.
