After a record-breaking journey beyond the Moon, Artemis II’s safe return strengthens NASA’s deep space roadmap and puts fresh focus on future Mars ambitions.
As NASA’s Artemis II mission prepares for its high-speed re-entry and scheduled splashdown in the Pacific off San Diego, it marks more than the end of a test flight.
Far from Earth, nearly 250,000 miles into space, the Artemis II crew shared a deeply personal moment, proposing to name a Moon crater after Commander Reid Wiseman’s late wife.
The launch of Artemis II is being celebrated as a technological milestone, but its deeper significance lies elsewhere.
"NASA mourns the loss of this accomplished pilot and astronaut, a friend of all who seek to push the envelope of human potential. Whether his work was behind the scenes or on full view, his legacy will always be as one of the leaders who took America's first steps into the cosmos."
"NASA has executed a flawed acquisition for the Human Landing System programme and moved the goalposts at the last minute," Blue Origin said in a statement on Monday.
The Crew-2 mission is the second of six crewed missions NASA and SpaceX will fly as part of the agency's Commercial Crew Program.
"The big implication here for subsurface exploration science is that wherever you have groundwater on Mars, there's a good chance that you have enough chemical energy to support subsurface microbial life,"
"Oxygen isn't just the stuff we breathe. Rocket propellant depends on oxygen, and future explorers will depend on producing propellant on Mars to make the trip home," Reuters said.
