@NiklasMM everyone knows that a full moon is bigger than a partial or even a new moon. You start when the moon is nearly full, giving you extra gravitational pull. You leave when it's starting to be a partial moon. Ideally you'd leave on a new moon so it has no pull at all, but they did not pack enough undies for a two week trip.

NASA's Artemis II flight around the moon will expose astronauts to space weather. Space scientist Patricia Reiff tells Live Science how solar flares and radiation will impact the lunar mission.
