In high-stakes roles, NASA launch and mission control teams on the ground will keep the Artemis II astronauts safely on track during a 10-day journey around the moon.

NASA had a contingency plan in case Apollo astronauts were stranded near the Moon, but it was far stranger and riskier than you might expect.

NASA has launched hundreds of missions, but a small number genuinely reshaped how we understand space. These missions did more than reach distant places. They gave scientists entirely new ways to study planets, stars, and the origins of the universe.

The agency’s leader said new plans and timelines for the coming decade aim to create a permanent foothold by humans on another world and inspire Americans.
