NASA's Artemis II astronauts will hold a press conference on Thursday afternoon, April 16, to talk about their historic mission to the far side of the moon – becoming the first humans ever to see that side of the moon.

The Artemis II crew splashed down April 10 after a record-breaking moon voyage, setting the stage for America's future crewed lunar missions.

Astronauts are expected to hit a major milestone in the Artemis II mission with a historic flyby of the moon on Monday afternoon.
