00:30We provide the service module, so that's the module behind the crew module that basically contains everything that we need to keep the astronauts alive on their journey to the moon.
00:40So it's got water tanks, it's got tanks of oxygen and nitrogen to provide the air, and then I guess most importantly it's got the propulsion module as well that will actually provide the thrust to push the astronauts to the moon and bring them back again.
01:00Apollo was very much about sort of short-term missions, you go there, you do some science, you come back, but with Artemis it's all about sort of building up a sustainable human presence on and around the moon.
01:15So we want to use the moon as a stepping stone for future travel to Mars. I mean it's very difficult to go directly from Earth to Mars, it takes a lot of fuel, a lot of energy to get there.
01:26So it's much better if you can use something like the moon as like a leap pad to take you there.
01:46Ladies and gentlemen, your Artemis 2 crew!
01:50Yeah!
01:51Yeah!
