Today NASA Administrator James Bridenstine and three other NASA associate administrators held a teleconference to discuss the agency’s latest Artemis program exploration plans, part of the nation’s Moon-Mars mission. On the NASA.gov site the agency posted a 74-page overview, “Artemis Plan, NASA’s Lunar Exploration Program Overview.”

The introduction to the Artemis plan starts, “America has entered a new era of exploration. NASA’s Artemis program will lead humanity forward to the Moon and prepare us for the next giant leap, the exploration of Mars. It has been almost 50 years since astronauts last walked on the lunar surface during the Apollo program, and since then the robotic exploration of deep space has seen decades of technological advancement and scientific discoveries. For the last 20 years, humans have continuously lived and worked aboard the International Space Station 250 miles above Earth, preparing for the day we move farther into the Solar System.”
