Amidst the pantheon of Greek gods, few are more revered than Artemis, Goddess of the hunt, chastity, and the Moon; Mistress of Animals, Daughter of Zeus and twin sister to Apollo. Famed for her pledge to never marry Artemis has stood as a feminist icon for millenia. It seems only fitting then that NASA has named after her a trailblazing mission that will see both the first woman and first PoC set foot on the Moon.

The Artemis program is split between the SLS missions, which will eventually bring the human crew to the Moon, and the support missions, which will bring everything else. That includes robotic rovers, the Human Landing System, as well as moonbase and Gateway components along with all of the logistical support and infrastructure that they will require.

    Good although hasty summary - thanks! Mixing standard and retro units is always confusing, so we'd be happy if you stick with int'l standard. (After all, the future is here)

    I wonder if there would be a way to right the Artemis lander in the event it falls over on landing. The feet for the lander are not very far apart and lander is tall making it more easy to tip over .Maybe some kind of winch or jack might be considered . Maybe feet that can adapt themselves to an inclined surface or open to larger diameter

    Great ilustration video. What an ambitious program! Thank.... Zeus, it's not "all Greek" to me..

    @3:40 "The SLS is the single most powerful rocket humanity has ever built...", yes, lets ignore the SpaceX Super Heavy/Starship combo which has twice the power and twice the payload of SLS.

    “Short interplanetary hop to Mars “???? Please someone, give this channel a map of the solar system 😆

    I for one am thankful we are spending trillions to achieve the goal of putting a woman and person of color on the moon.
