Because this is reality and not a hoax, you don’t just land on the Moon on the very first flight with new equipment. So, just like the last time we went and eventually landed, NASA build up to it.
Artemis I = uncrewed test
(Just like Apollo 4 and Apollo 6)
Test the rocket.
Test reentry.
Prove the system works.
Artemis II = crewed lunar flight
(Just like Apollo 8)
First crewed mission beyond low Earth orbit.
Navigate to the Moon.
Enter lunar orbit.
Operate in deep space.
Return safely at lunar reentry speeds.
This isn’t new. It’s how you don’t kill astronauts.
Action. Wonder. Adventure. Artemis II has got it all. Don't miss the moment. Our crewed Moon mission will launch as early as April 1.

Noto poca expectación social con Artemis II fuera del círculo astronómico. No sé si será por el panorama político internacional, si es simplemente un desinterés que aumentará con Artemis III o mi propio sesgo personal.

Me acuerdo ese sentimiento de ir al cine a los 8 años sabiendo que, durante todo el día, no ibas a vivir una mayor explosión de estímulos y experiencias que en esas dos horas. Hoy, en cambio, el cine es el único lugar en el que sucede una pausa de la sobreestimulación del mundo.
