Reply to comment by catjam25 in is Artemis 1 going to the moon? by sci3ntisa132

Great graphic! My understanding from a little googling is that Apollo 11 took a little over 4 days to reach the moon. Do you know why the outbound transit is expected to take 8-14 days for the Artemis mission, per the graphic?

I’m definitely no expert, but my guess is that the motion and positioning of the moon relative to the earth is to blame for the longer trip.
