NASA has released a video that will show you everything you need to know about the Artemis I mission in less than 5 minutes.

With the use of impressive graphics, the video shows how the carefully planned Artemis I mission is expected to unfold.

NASA wants to return humans to the moon and send them to Mars in a new era of space exploration.

The Artemis I mission is set to launch from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Monday, August 29 and will involve the very first flight of NASA's next- generation Space Launch System rocket.

The journey will last six weeks and involve a fly-by of the moon. The ocean off the coast of California will be the site of the splashdown.

The path for Artemis II will be the same as for Artemis I, but with astronauts on board. Artemis III will attempt to put the first woman and first person of color on the moon in a mission that could happen as early as 2025.

NASA said that the first flight of the Artemis Generation is about to begin. The uncrewed Artemis I mission will jump-start humanity's return to the moon with the thunderous lift off of NASA's powerful new Space Launch System rocket. New systems and processes will be put to the test in order for the crew missions to come. We are ready to return to the moon with our sights on Mars and beyond.

Monday's launch of the SLS rocket is sure to be an impressive spectacle and you can watch the entire event via NASA's livestream.
