00:00If Artemis II tried to fly straight to the moon,
00:03Earth's gravity would keep pulling it back down.
00:06To escape this, the rocket would need massive engines with tons of fuel,
00:11which would cost way too much money.
00:14So instead, the rocket will launch upwards before tipping horizontally.
00:19Earth's gravity pulls it inwards, swinging the rocket in a circular path.
00:24And as it builds up speed, it climbs higher and higher,
00:27looping around Earth until it can escape its pull.
00:32Then, with a last push, it finally flies to the moon.
