How Artemis 1 fits into NASA's grand vision for space exploration
It's been nearly 50 years since the latest Apollo landing, and the landscape for space exploration is wildly different. Why is NASA's latest mission focused on revisiting the moon?
NASA's Artemis I spacecraft was supposed to head to the moon earlier this week. But after suffering a technical error it had to be delayed until Saturday afternoon.
It's been nearly 50 years since the last Apollo landing, and the landscape for space exploration has changed drastically since then. One obvious update? This ship has no crew (for now). NASA hopes that later Artemis missions will eventually return humans on the moon.
Efficiency, costs, and motivations for the mission have been brought to shed light on the process, and the future of humans in space.
