In this video I'm talking about the crazy journey of Artemis 1 and why it took such a weird route to the moon. Getting to the Moon is no easy task. In fact, despite the Moon being 500 times closer, it takes more energy to land on the Moon than it does to land on Mars. Every rocket that goes to the Moon aims to follow the most energy efficient route (depending on the mission.) The goal with Artemis 1 for example, was to send the Orion capsule around the Moon to test out all of its systems. The goal with the Apollo missions however, was to land humans on the Moon and return them to Earth. So why did Artemis 1 take such a weird route to the Moon? Stick around and find out. Short on time? No problem.
