I'm surprised at how long it takes Artemis to get to the moon, 5 days! When I was 11 I saw the Apollo do it in 3 days. I'm reading that it has to do with fuel efficiency. Of course it has a much larger payload so it's all good, just bring some more food on board.

Funny you say that I was thinking the exact same thing why 5 instead of 3 days thanks for the insight !
