The Artemis II mission is set to launch to the Moon with a four-person crew, marking the first such mission in 53 years. The Orion capsule will spend a day orbiting Earth before heading towards the Moon for a flyby.

Antonio Preden, head of the ESA engineering team behind the Orion capsule, celebrated his team's success and the upcoming Artemis II launch, for which he will be in Houston. He marked the achievement with a 400-kilometer bike ride.
