NASA's Artemis Program and the Race to the Moon
NASA is planning to return American astronauts to the moon as part of the Artemis program to explore new technologies and resources for further space exploration. This includes a focus on the South Pole region of the moon where water may be present, potentially allowing for the creation of rocket fuel. The U.S. is in a space race with China, who also aims to land astronauts on the moon and gather resources for future missions. NASA Administrator Bill Nelson discussed the agency's goals and partnerships with private companies like SpaceX and Boeing.
