NASA is finally getting serious about staying on the moon. Less than two weeks after the historic splashdown of the Artemis II crew, the space agency has ripped up its old playbook. For years, the agency has been timid about its plans for the moon.

The Artemis program was officially named and announced by NASA in May 2019, when Artemis III was intended to land “the first woman and next man” on the lunar South Pole in 2024. Since then, the uncrewed Artemis I test flight launched in 2022, and Artemis II is complete.
