Brent is joined by astronomer David Reneke to break down one of the biggest space missions in decades—Artemis II.

Four astronauts are about to travel farther from Earth than anyone in history, looping around the far side of the Moon on a 10-day test flight. No landing this time—this is about proving the systems needed for future lunar missions and, eventually, Mars.

Brent and David unpack what makes this mission different from Apollo, why it matters now, and how Australia is playing a key role in tracking and communicating with the spacecraft from deep space.

It’s space history in the making—and the questions are bigger than ever: are we ready to live beyond Earth?
