NASA is preparing for Artemis II, a historic mission that will send four astronauts on a ten-day journey around the Moon. It marks the first crewed lunar flight since 1972.

NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman emphasized the shift from temporary visits to a lasting foothold on the lunar surface.
“This time, the goal is to stay. America will never again give up the Moon.”
