Artemis II — first crewed lunar flyby in 50 years

The 1 and 4 combination in Western numerology points to the ability not only to begin, but to build a system. It is associated with practicality, order, and the idea of foundation before results.

April 1 (01.04) marks the symbolic launch date of the Artemis II mission. Four astronauts — Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Canadian Jeremy Hansen — will travel beyond low Earth orbit for the first time since 1972. The Orion capsule will loop around the Moon on a free-return trajectory and splash down after approximately 10 days, paving the way for the Artemis III landing.

In Chinese numerology, 4 is often considered unfavorable because its pronunciation resembles the word for 'death'. So 0104 is seen as a neutral beginning meeting a digit traditionally approached with caution.
