You don't want to Arte-miss this.

It's just a week to go before Nasa has another try at launching its Artemis II mission to the Moon.

The astronauts on board will go further than any human has EVER gone.

BBC science editor Rebecca Morrelle has been having a look at the rocket, where the astronauts will live, and of course, where they'll go to the toilet.

Don't forget, you can take a look around the Orion capsule yourself with Newsround's interactive Artemis Moon Mission game.

This is the Artemis II Space Launch System

The astronauts will be lifted off into space on the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket.

The job of the SLS is to carry the Orion spacecraft - which sits at the top of the rocket with the astronauts onboard - to space.

The astronauts will spend 10 days in the Orion capsule, which is about 5m wide and 3m high.

They'll exercise for 30 minutes every day with a small exercise machine, use water to rehydrate their food and use a toilet tucked under the floor.
