    It's been described as a "mega rocket" which is set to take astronauts to the moon for the first time in decades


    The 100-metre-long Artemis Two rocket is this morning being moved from NASA's vehicle assembly building in Cape Canaveral in Florida to the launch pad at the Kennedy Space Centre.

    Some reports suggest the 10 day mission could blast off as early as next month.

    The last crewed moon mission was Apollo 17 in December 1972.
