NASA is gearing up to launch its Artemis program, which aims to return astronauts to the moon for the first time in decades. WSJ explains the challenges behind this historic mission, and why it’s a critical step in getting humans on the moon by 2025.

Not a single word on the ESM… It seems that Europe is not playing a key element..
Too expensive. I think they are doing the wrong approach. They should build an orbital spacecraft, of modules similar to space station (habitation, control, power station, docking, propulsion), then refuel/resupply for missions to moon, asteroids, & mars. The Orion would fly to docking module and serve as a lifeboat. Propulsion module uses electric plasma engines. Power station is a combination of solar and nuclear power.
China copy soon
Is the SLS system recoverable/reusable and does it come back to Earth in a controlled descent manner?
According to NASA, the primary Artemis mission is to put a woman on the moon. According to Norm Macdonald, a male pilot will be needed as well, however, since women can’t drive.
Just stop all your pathetic racist sexist comments. No one cares the gender or ethnicity of an astronaut, only that they are a human being. Take your woke joke and shove it.
I am like wow! My parents got to see the Apollo moon landings. I really want to be in on this one. LOL
Artimis is not logical. It will fail. It will litter the moon with left overs from the many landers. And prove that no astronaut can make it mars. Due to radiation on the moon. Every one of the Appallo Astronauts had radiation problems. And let me mention; (A capsule to return to earth).. Really, That was 50 years ago!! The solution is SPEED!! Very Fast Speed!! Like close to, or above, light speed.. Making it the most efficient use of energy. If we can energize a city with a rock of uranium. We need to fully abide to e=mc2. According to todays psychics. And there is much more to be discovered!
😮 🤭😅😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Do they have the film studio ready?
Yep. Representation is all that matters when it comes to space exploration! Sounds about right. I say, just rely on SpaceX.
Well, it's good to know that social justice is alive in well. Why no trans-purple-finned dolphins? That pisses me off. Trans-purple-finned dolphins should be able to land on the moon.
Hopefully conservatives will back to power before landing….
Its not the UFO UAP age! No you need to go back 50 years, this is the rocket age again. Please forget about all your problems and let this rocket transport you back to a nicer time. Never mind that we have already sent rovers to the moon and Mars, forget about all that. Isnt it great that we are deluding ourselves? Ahh, ignorance is Bliss, come my blue pill friends and lets regress..
NASA engineers need to read these YouTube comments and learn a thing or two about rocket science. 😆
"The first Artemis Rocket and the broader Artemis program….Are expected to be costly…." I dont wanna hear anything about COSTLY, the current administration just blew 300 billion on a government handout. And that was just this week. NASA is given peanuts in terms of money. 93 billion for a program to help inspire humanity is a small price to pay.
Note:NASA sending American flag before they sent astronauts on the Moon…
It proved that first moon landing was fake
Nasa Trying to send astronauts to the Moon for first time.
Artemis/moon goddess/wormwood/Artemisia Revelations 8verse10,11
Come on guys, Neil Armstrong did it in a tin foil wrapped cylinder and lived to tell the tale. Sheesh you’d think it has never been done before Lol
Best birthday present ever.
NASA should just swallow it’s pride and collab with SpaceX and stop wasting tax payer money 💯
A quote from Space Force on Netflix
"It's good to be black on the Moon."
Hey Astronauts- Bring a flashlight and point it towards Earth on April 29 2025 @ 1700 EST so we know you are on the moon walking around. Thanks
Hope to go to mars soon
Their first moon landings is so fake they have to make new Hollywood type movie to keep the sheeple in the dream land
The Senate Launch System is a complete waste of money. It was never anything but pork. It will fly a few times and be canned due to the enormous expense. SpaceX is our only hope for a sustainable Moon outpost. In fact, Nasa has contracted with SpaceX to meet the Orion capsule in Moon orbit and take the astronauts down to the surface in Starship. So a tiny capsule big enough for 4 astronauts will dock with a Starship big enough to carry every astronaut Nasa has with room to spare, plus all their gear which will ferry them down and back up again where they will reboard the tiny Orion capsule for the return to Earth.
We have For all Mankind going for us and igniting that want to explore humanity somehow has forgotten.
Person of colour?🤣
Putting mannequins in to see the affect on the human body ? 😂 haven’t we been there already ?
Is neil armstrong is a hoax of cold war era…..hahahahahaha
So, they're preparing for another fake moon landing?
Since 2020 in 2022 they decided go time moon with humans, what a brilliant idea and other problems are not essential.
It seems to me or not that starting in 2020, politicians are competing in the greatest stupidity they could do to harm ordinary people.
Will the rocket debris fall back to earth uncontrollably?
2:01 NASA succumbed to the woke sect propaganda. I don't care the skin color or sex of the astronaut as long as they are competent. Way to go, NASA, propagating racist and sexist discrimination to space and moon.
Social Justice to the Moon! Oh please no! First this and that…. All astronauts are brave heroes. In Space Suits we can’t see colors, man or woman. Just heroes!
not impressed, supposedly they did this half a century ago
Over 50 years ago a young boy was lying on the floor of the living room watching a brodcast of a saturn v launching in florida in the tv. 53 years later that same kid is now watching with his own kids yet another rocket launch
I was cool with it until, "to test life support", put "a black person and woman on the moon", first of all, didn't you land on the moon, so you claim you did, if you "did" you should have the data, second, we're all human, color, race, height, that doesn't matter, it's about extending our species out into space not making racism a constant paradox of future generations. I hope it blows up, if you're pushing for evil ideology, I hope evil is what you get.
