Everything you need to know about NASA’s Artemis mission
Amidst the pantheon of Greek gods, few are more revered than Artemis, Goddess of the hunt, chastity, and the Moon; Mistress of Animals, Daughter of Zeus and twin sister to Apollo. Famed for her pledge to never marry Artemis has stood as a feminist icon for millenia. It seems only fitting then that NASA has named after her a trailblazing mission that will see both the first woman and first PoC set foot on the Moon.
The Artemis program is split between the SLS missions, which will eventually bring the human crew to the Moon, and the support missions, which will bring everything else. That includes robotic rovers, the Human Landing System, as well as moonbase and Gateway components along with all of the logistical support and infrastructure that they will require.
