BBC Sounds, Music, radio podcasts.

We love to cover space stories on witness history, like the first spacewalk, the moon landing, and the handshake in space.

So we thought you might enjoy listening to the BBC's space podcast that's starting today.

NASA is sending four astronauts on a 10-day trip around the moon, and our podcast, 13 Minutes Presents, Artemis 2, is the place to go

for all the latest news and updates. Here's space scientist Maggie Adairn Pocock with more.

And as we leave the moon and tourist literal, we leave as we came,

and God willing as we shall return with peace and hope for all mankind. Godspeed to Coup of Apollo 17. It's been home. Roman times.

Godspeed to Cube of Apollo 17.

It's more than half a century since anyone went to the moon.

The Apollo missions came to an end in 1972.

I am up on a ladder.

But now humans are set to return.

NASA's Artemis 2 mission will send four astronauts to loop around the moon.

Hopefully they go further from Earth than any human in history.

And if humans are returning to missions around the moon,

well, the BBC Space Podcast 13 minutes has to return to.

13 minutes is coming back with 13 minutes presents, Artemis II.

Three, two, one, zero.

We have committed, we have, we have, we have the God.

I'm Magiardarin Pocock.

I'm a space scientist, specializing in space telescopes, and I've been obsessed with space since a young age.

And if he haven't yet discovered 13 minutes, previous seasons have told the story of the first moon landing, the near disaster of Apollo 13 and the space shuttle story.
