from Matt Heath & Tyler Adams Afternoons · host Newstalk ZB
The Artemis II crew have completed their mission to view the dark side of the moon and are now set to re-enter Earth's atmosphere tomorrow (NZT). Auckland University astrophysicist Richard Easther joined Matt and Tyler to chat about the historical and scientific significance of the mission. "99% of what they're trying to do here is to test the technology," he said. "It's essentially a test flight of the vehicles that they want to use to go back to the moon on a regular basis."
