Moon Launch Success
ABC News Correspondent Jim Ryan talks about how with a thunderous roar and 9 million pounds of thrust created by four engines, each the size of a compact car, four astronauts were launched into space Wednesday for a 3-day trip to the Moon. Artemis 2 is the next step in NASA’s goal of landing human beings on the lunar surface as early as 2028. Assuming everything goes to plan, the three Americans and one Canadian will splash down off the coast of San Diego next week, having traveled farther from Earth than any person ever has.
