During the evening, while most Americans were asleep, Artemis I successfully launched an uncrewed spacecraft on a roundtrip voyage to orbit the moon in preparation for future flights. It’s just the first step in an ambitious new space campaign with several exciting goals: send the first woman and first person of color to the moon, and install a lunar space station, which will establish a semi-permanent lunar presence. | | | | |
