What would you bring with you to space?

The crew of the Artemis II have officially blasted off on their mission to the Moon.

The rocket launched from the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida, in the US, late on Wednesday 1 April UK time.

As part of the Artemis II mission, the astronauts are taking part in a 10-day trip around the Moon and back again.

The crew includes three Nasa astronauts - Commander Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover and Christina Koch - along with Jeremy Hansen of the Canadian Space Agency.

Each of the crew was able to bring some special items from home along with them on the journey - find about more about them below, and let us know what you'd bring in the comments.

Before setting off Reid Wiseman said he was bringing a small notepad with him so that he can jot down his thoughts during the mission.

Christina Koch has handwritten notes from people close to her, which she said give her a "tactile connection" to her loved ones back on Earth.

Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen said he was taking four Moon-shaped pendants to represent his wife and three children, which have been engraved with the phrase "Moon and back" and set with their birthstones.

He also said he was taking maple syrup and maple cookies along for a snack on his lunar journey.

Victor Glover said he was taking a Bible, his wedding ring and family heirlooms with him on the trip, along with a collection of inspirational quotes put together by Apollo 9 astronaut Rusty Schweickart.
