There was something familiar about the hat Derrol Nail wore while NASA's Orion spacecraft splashed down from the moon that evoked images of Apollo astronauts.

The successful splashdown of the spacecraft with no humans aboard keeps NASA's Artemis mission on track to put the first woman and first person of color on the lunar surface by 2025.

connected with modern communications, I am able to share a site for a unique NASA adventure connected to the Artemis mission to return to the moon. https://www.nasa.gov/specials/calliefirst/ First Woman tells the tale of fictional Callie Rodriguez, the first woman to explore the moon. While Callie is a fictional character, the first female astronaut will soon set foot on the moon – a historic milestone and part of upcoming NASA missions.

When NASA launched the Artemis I mission early Wednesday morning, it was something people had waited weeks, months, years, and even decades to see happen. The flight is unmanned, but it marks a milestone in the work being done to return humans to the moon for the first time since the Apollo missions.

While many in Houston and across the country were sleeping, NASA made history by successfully launching the Orion capsule into space and to the moon. Here are some of the images captured at Kennedy Space Center.

While NASA officials stressed that Artemis 1 continues to be a challenging mission, they stated they are confident in the upcoming launch attempt on Nov. 14.

December 1972 was the last time humans touched the lunar surface when the astronauts of Apollo 17 “bounced around” there. Now, we’re going back for scientific discovery, economic benefits, and to inspire a new generation of explorers! With its new Artemis missions, NASA will launch an unmanned rocket to the moon with the goal of eventually sending the first woman and first person of color to the Moon. Dr. Carolyn Sumners, curator of Astronomy at The Houston Museum of Natural Science’s Burke Baker Planetarium, shares why this is so important to humankind, and why many of us may very well be inhabiting the Moon in the very near future.

NASA’s Artemis program is, to date, the most inclusive mission. It is multinational and multigender.

Artemis 1 will have a 69-minute launch window that opens at 12:07 a.m. EST (1707 GMT) on Nov. 14, during which it will attempt to send the Orion spacecraft to lunar orbit.

"It won’t be PlayerUnknown’s Metaverse, just like it isn’t Tim Berners-Lee’s Internet," said Brendan “PlayerUnknown” Greene. "It has to be owned by everyone."

NASA's moon rocket is safely back inside its hangar as Hurricane Ian approaches Florida, its launch now unlikely before mid-November.

NASA rolled the SLS rocket back into the mammoth Vehicle Assembly Building for protection at Kennedy Space Center ahead of potential impact from Hurricane Ian.

NASA officials will be discussing the rollback of Artemis 1 Tuesday (Sept. 27) to shelter from Hurricane Ian. The livestream starts at 2 p.m. EDT.

The first Artemis program moonshot likely will be delayed to November.

The launch of the uncrewed space vehicle was scheduled for Tuesday but is being pushed back because Tropical Storm Ian might hit Florida next week as a hurricane.

The space agency had hoped to launch its SLS rocket and Orion spacecraft to the moon on Tuesday.

Once launched, the crew capsule atop the rocket will be the first to orbit the moon in 50 years.

NASA's new moon rocket sprouted more fuel leaks in a test ahead of a possible launch attempt next week.

NASA is gearing up for a fueling test of its Artemis 1 moon rocket on Sept. 21 that could keep the huge vehicle on track for a liftoff less than a week later.

For the second time this week, the launch team began loading fuel into the rocket.

The Artemis program is NASA’s flagship deep-space human exploration program, meant to return astronauts to the moon for the first time since the last of the Apollo missions, in 1972. Saturday’s flight, known as Artemis I, is the first in a series of test missions. It would send the Orion crew capsule in orbit around the moon for about six weeks without any astronauts on board. The next flight, Artemis II, scheduled for some time in 2024, would send astronauts into lunar orbit but not to the surface of the moon. A lunar landing, Artemis III, could come in 2025 or 2026, if all goes according to plan.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – NASA has named the 18 astronauts — half of them women — who will train for its Artemis moon-landing program. The first woman and next man on the moon will come from this elite group. Half of the NASA astronauts have spaceflight experience. Two are at the International Space Station right now: Kate Rubins and Victor Glover. The other experienced members on the list include Kjell Lindgren, Anne McClain and Scott Tingle, all former space station residents.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – The moon’s shadowed, frigid nooks and crannies may hold frozen water in more places and in larger quantities than previously suspected. And for the first time, the presence of water on the moon’s sunlit surface has been confirmed, scientists reported Monday. While previous observations have indicated millions of tons of ice in the permanently shadowed craters of the moon’s poles, a pair of studies in the journal Nature Astronomy take the availability of lunar surface water to a new level. The presence of water in sunlit surfaces had been previously suggested, but not confirmed. For now, Sofia can analyze only the moon's outermost surface, but these water molecules could be buried yards (meters) deep, Honniball noted.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – NASA’s new moonshot rules: No fighting and littering. The space agency released a set of guidelines Tuesday for its Artemis moon-landing program, based on the 1967 Outer Space Treaty and other agreements. Founding members include the U.S., Australia, Canada, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, United Arab Emirates and the United Kingdom. The coalition can say, “Look, you’re in this program with the rest of us, but you’re not playing by the same rules,” Bridenstine said. ___The Associated Press Health and Science Department receives support from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s Department of Science Education.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – NASA has announced the 18 astronauts who are part of the agency’s Artemis program, which aims to send humans back to the moon and eventually send the first humans to Mars.
