We are ALL IN as we prepare for this next giant leap to the Moon. Go Reid, Victor, Christina, Jeremy, Andre, and Jenni!

Key milestones include the development of the Space Launch System (SLS), the Orion crew vehicle, and the lunar Gateway. These components form the backbone of Artemis missions, providing the necessary infrastructure to support lunar exploration and scientific research. Unlike the Apollo program, which focused on brief sorties to the Moon’s equatorial regions, Artemis emphasizes long-duration missions in the lunar south pole, where extended periods of sunlight enable enhanced energy generation and habitation capabilities.

How NASA Plans to Survive on the Moon for Years at a Time! NASA’s Artemis program represents a monumental leap forward in human space exploration, with the goal of establishing a sustainable presence on the Moon and paving the way for human missions …
