After years of preparing, NASA astronaut and Baltimore County native​ Reid Wiseman will take a trip around the moon, which could pave the way for planned moon landings in 2028.

The Artemis 2 astronauts have to be prepared to use a little water and a lot of creativity to prepare their moon foods in a small spacecraft.

In an on-going overhaul of NASA's Artemis program, agency officials say it will take seven years to build a sophisticated base on the moon.

On Wednesday, four astronauts are scheduled to launch on a trip around the moon — the first such mission in more than 50 years. Images show NASA's long road to this point.

Earth and the moon may look very different today, but they formed under similar conditions in space. In fact, a dominant hypothesis says that the early Earth was hit by a Mars-sized object, and it was this giant impact that spun off material to form the moon.

NASA plans to launch Moon missions once per month over the next few years. Initially uncrewed, landers will carry supplies to help NASA build a Moon base in 2029. At least half a dozen space companies may profit from NASA's $10 billion plan.
