NASA Artemis I is ready to go to the Moon

Years late and billions over budget, NASA's new moon rocket makes its debut next week in a high-stakes test flight before astronauts get on top. The 322-foot rocket will attempt to send a crew capsule into a far-flung lunar orbit as part of Artemis 1.

If the three test dummies make it back intact, astronauts could strap in as soon as 2024 for a lap around the moon, followed by a two-person lunar landing by the end of 2025. Liftoff is set for Monday from NASA's Kennedy Space Center.

The price tag for this single mission: more than $4 billion. Add everything up since the program's inception a decade ago until the 2025 lunar landing, and there's even more sticker shock: $93 billion.
