Nasa's Artemis II spacecraft has blasted off and is now orbiting the Earth in the first crewed mission to the Moon in half a century - watch the mission live above.
"We go for all humanity," astronaut Reid Wiseman said as they launched.
They will remain in orbit for 24 hours as the crew carries out checks - if all goes well it will get the green light to head around the Moon.
The crew are "safe, secure and in great spirits", a Nasa official says - they won't land on the Moon during their 10-day mission, but plan to circle it, and could travel further from Earth than anyone has ever been before.
