Why the Moon?

The Artemis missions will build a community on the Moon, driving a new lunar economy and inspiring a new generation. Narrator Drew Barrymore and NASA team members explain why returning to the Moon is the natural next step in human exploration, and how the lessons learned from Artemis will pave the way to Mars and beyond. As NASA prepares to launch the Orion spacecraft and Space Launch System rocket on the uncrewed Artemis I mission around the Moon, we’ve already begun to take the next step.

Man, it would be so cool to visit the Moon one day, like going on vacation to Disneyland or something like that. I would like to live there for awhile and experience living on a different world.

Imagine a day, where missions to the moon as as frequent as missions to the ISS
The amazing thing is that this day isn't very far away

Can’t wait to run into people in Shooter lobbies
“Where are you at?”
“Oh, the moon.”

What makes me emotional is that when we talk about space, for a little moment the whole planet comes together

[gutobernardo]

I love how over the decades NASA has blurred the lines between countries and gets everyone hyped about science and exploration ❤️

[aceofdiamonds]

Thought we had this conversation over 40 years ago? We should've conquered the moon by now, but we'd had to have gone before for that to be the case.

[tylerrichardcarstens]

“The exploration of the moon is a shared effort.”

Immediately displays American flag😂
