Nasa has named the crew of its next Artemis mission, which it promised would be an “extraordinary demonstration of what is possible”. Artemis is the ambitious American-led effort to the return humans to the lunar surface by 2028.

Two months after the rousing success of the Artemis II mission, NASA introduces four new astronauts. But a recent rocket explosion raises questions about timing.

Four astronauts will be part of the next mission in the agency’s program to return humans to the surface of the moon by 2028. The recent explosion of a Blue Origin rocket could complicate matters.

It's an extremely ambitious plan. The post NASA’s Next Moon Mission Is a Rube Goldberg Machine of Corporate Failure Points appeared first on Futurism.

It could be more than a year before Blue Origin's New Glenn is ready to fly again, but NASA has no intention of letting the Artemis timeline slip.

NASA named the four astronauts it plans to send on the Artemis III mission Tuesday, the next major step in its return-to-the-moon program.
