Artemis: Nasa ready to launch new era of Moon exploration

In 1969, when Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin took their first small steps on the Moon, they ushered in a golden era of space exploration. The Apollo programme transformed how we see our planet and ourselves. Now, 50 years on, the Moon is in humanity’s sights again. And for those who never got to witness the Apollo missions for themselves, the hope is that Artemis will inspire a new generation.
