Artemis II is reaching the Moon today, and you can watch the whole thing live from your sofa.
Netflix is broadcasting the lunar flyby live, with the stream kicking off at 1pm EST (6pm BST) today, April 6.
The four-person crew – NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover and Christina Koch, alongside Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen – launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida last Wednesday.
They won’t be landing on the Moon, but their flyby will mark the furthest humans have ever travelled from Earth. It is the first crewed mission to the Moon in over half a century.
Orion will use the Moon’s gravitational pull to slingshot the crew back towards Earth. During the flyby, the team will lose contact with ground control for around 40 minutes as they pass behind the dark side of the Moon.
NASA is also running a separate 24/7 live stream on YouTube, showing uninterrupted exterior camera footage of the Orion capsule throughout its journey.
The crew is expected to splash down in the Pacific Ocean on Friday, April 10, completing the 10-day round trip.
