This is The Guardian.

Today, boldly going when no one has been before, kind of, a mission to conquer the moon.

The countdown clock will resume on my mark.

Three, two, one, mark.

T minus nine minutes and counting.

In the run-up to launch, it's a really interesting period because actually things kind of come into focus, as you can imagine.

It's quiet for the astronauts in comparison to what life will have been,

or that training of preparation leading up to the mission.

All right, folks, close here.

So go-no-go for Artemis 1 launch.

This week, NASA will blast Artemis 2 into the Florida sky and far, far beyond, in a mission

to send three men and the first woman to fly around the moon.

D-Mines 6 minutes in counting.

It's the furthest humans will ever have gone into deep space.

A mind-boggling feat of human ingenuity.

And one that the British astronaut Tim Peake has some experience with.

Of course there'll be nerves, there'll be apprehension, there'll be an emotional farewell with families,

but also there'll be this absolute burning desire to get on board

that rocket and carry out the mission that they've been training for.

One minute, 30 seconds.

For me, it was a relatively small rocket, about 50 meters.

This rocket, the SLS, it's about the size of Big Ben.
