Why Artemis II Won't Engage Its Engines to Return to Earth
The Artemis II mission will not engage its engines to return to Earth due to physics, similar to the Apolo 13 mission in the 1970s. The crew will orbit the Earth for 24 hours to test systems and decide on the next course of action. They will then travel to the Moon, where they will be in a high orbit, and observe the Sun's illumination of the lunar surface.
