@adietrichs@karter_web3@TheBlockCo Okay, so our plan consists of a short-term and a medium-term plan, with the long-term plan adjusting based on changes in the short-term plan. Is this correct?
Humanity is returning to the Moon! For the first time in over half a century—since Apollo 17 in 1972—astronauts will venture beyond low Earth orbit on a daring journey around our nearest celestial neighbor.Artemis II is set to launch no earlier than February 6, 2026, carrying four trailblazing astronauts aboard NASA's mighty Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and Orion spacecraft: Commander Reid Wiseman, Pilot Victor Glover, Mission Specialist Christina Koch, and CSA astronaut Jeremy Hansen.This ~10-day mission will take them on a free-return trajectory around the Moon, testing critical systems—life support, navigation, communications, and more—that will pave the way for sustained human presence on the lunar surface and eventual Mars exploration.Milestones they'll achieve:Victor Glover — First Black astronaut to travel to the Moon
Christina Koch — First woman to fly this far into deep space
Jeremy Hansen — First Canadian on a lunar mission
The SLS rocket, the most powerful ever built, rolled out to Launch Pad 39B in mid-January 2026, with final preparations (including a wet dress rehearsal) underway for this historic flight.This isn't just a mission—it's the dawn of a bold new era in deep space exploration, opening the door to the Moon and beyond for all humankind.
