HUTCHINSON, Kan. — After more than 50 years NASA is ready to go to the moon again. On Monday anyone who wants to can watch NASA's coverage of the Artemis I launch Monday on the big screen TVs in Cosmosphere's lobby.

NASA's launch window for Artemis I opens Monday at 8:33 a.m. EDT. The launch window extends two hours from that time. The Artemis program aims to eventually land the first woman and the first person of color on the moon. Standing at 322 feet, the Artemis is about 40 feet shorter than the Saturn V rocket that took man to the moon in the 1960s and 1970s, but it has more a million pounds more thrust than the Saturn V and will be the most powerful rocket ever launched when it takes its maiden flight.

The Cosmosphere's Grand Lobby will open at 7:00 a.m. Monday for any members of the public who want to watch.&nbsp;
