It's really exciting because a human spacecraft hasn't been sent to the lunar surface for 50 years.
This Artemis I mission is not crewed by astronauts, but this launch is part of the US space agency's wider project to send humans back to the Moon.
The last astronauts to visit it were the crew on the Apollo 17 rocket in December 1972.
The special spacecraft called the Orion capsule is sweeping 80 miles (130km) above the lunar surface, before entering into a larger orbit around the Moon.
The 100m-tall Artemis rocket blasted off from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Wednesday 16 November 2022; it is the most powerful rocket Nasa has ever built.
It's an historic day for all the people who love human space flight and deep space exploration.
Because this is a test flight, no astronauts are on board this time.

It's the first time the tournament has been held in the Middle East and it's also the first winter World Cup in the tournament's 92-year history.
Usually, the competition takes place in the summer but because of extreme heat in Qatar at that time of year, it has been moved to a November-December 'winter' slot, though temperatures will still reach about 25C.
Off the field, this World Cup has been very controversial.
Qatar has been criticised for its anti same-sex relationship laws, the impact the World Cup will have on the environment, its human rights record and the treatment of migrant workers in the country.
The tournament will see eight stadiums separated by roughly an hour's drive, and fans will be able to travel to and from venues using 110 metro trains and 4,000 buses, of which 750 are electric.
There will be 32 teams at the World Cup in 2022 (that number increases to 48 at the next World Cup in four years time). Thirteen are are from Europe, with five representing Africa, four from South America, North America and Asia, plus Australia and hosts Qatar.
One and a half million fans from all over the world are expected to visit Qatar to watch World Cup games.
World champions France are hoping to hold onto their World Cup trophy that they won in 2018, but they will have to play without 2022 Ballon d'Or winner Karim Benzema leading their attack. The striker has been ruled out of the World Cup because of a thigh injury suffered in training.
They do still have super-quick Kylian Mbappé, but 2018 World Cup winner Paul Pogba also misses the tournament through injury.
Captain Lionel Messi, who is considered to be one of the greatest players of all time, has never won a World Cup, and at the age of 35 he's running out of opportunities to do so. He's in good form for his club Paris Saint-Germain, so this could be his year.
The other footballing GOAT (Greatest Of All Time), Cristiano Ronaldo says that Qatar won't be his last international tournament with Portugal. Ronaldo, who is 37, will be desperate to add a World Cup trophy to his list of achievements - as it's one of the few tournaments he hasn't won so far in his career.

The UK's prime minister, Liz Truss, has announced she is stepping down after just 45 days in office.
Ms Truss had only been in the job since 6 September but she has been faced with a series of events and decisions over the last few weeks, which have raised questions about her leadership.
She is the PM with the shortest time in charge in UK history and said that her replacement would be elected by the Conservative Party over the next week.
