The crew of Nasa’s Artemis II mission are answering questions from quarantine ahead of the launch of the moon mission.
Nasa is aiming for an early April launch for the first crewed mission around the Moon in more than 50 years.
The Artemis II mission, which will last about 10 days, will take its astronauts further into space than anyone has been before.
Artemis II’s crew of four is made up of Nasa commander Reid Wiseman, pilot Victor Glover and mission specialist Christina Koch. A second mission specialist, Jeremy Hansen from the Canadian Space Agency, will also be on board.
The mission involves the first crewed flight of Nasa’s gigantic Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and the Orion space capsule.
