NASA
  • Nasa successfully launched its first manned Moon mission in over 50 years from Cape Canaveral, Florida, at 6.36pm local time (11.36pm BST).
  • The 322-foot rocket is carrying four crew members who will travel deeper into space than any human has gone before.
  • The elite team will remain in the capsule, described as having the space of a small camper van, for the next 10 days.
  • An early issue arose when the capsule's toilet shut down after being activated, following a steering practice close to the rocket's detached upper stage.
  • Mission control in Houston worked with the Artemis II crew to troubleshoot and successfully restore the Orion spacecraft's toilet to normal operations.
