Artemis plan

Artemis II crew members (from left) CSA (Canadian Space Agency) astronaut Jeremy Hansen, and NASA astronauts Christina Koch, Victor Glover and Reid Weisman, exit the astronaut crew quarters in the Neil Armstrong Building to the Artemis crew transport facilities, before traveling to Launch Pad 39B As part of the Integrated Ground Systems Experiment at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, on Wednesday, September 20, to test the crew's schedule on launch day. Now they will have to wait another year for the actual flight. NASA photo

NASA postpones the Artemis 2 and 3 missions by a year to 2025 and 2026 respectively. The reason: repeated failures. One of them occurred this week - the fuel leak from the lunar lander intended for Peregrine

The Peregrine lander is carrying a variety of scientific instruments to study the radiation and soil composition on the moon, along with an unusual payload that includes a small rover, a bitcoin coin, and the ashes and DNA of several celebrities - including Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry

using the same main engines and solid rocket booster technology that powered the space shuttle. The space agency has made many improvements, and learned the hard-earned lessons from past disasters. SLS and Orion represent evolution, not revolution. However, there will be nothing routine about this flight.

There is enough oxygen on the moon's surface to support billions of people living there

Current estimates indicate that the upper ten meters of the Moon's surface contain enough elemental oxygen to create enough O2 for every person on Earth for the next hundred thousand years - more than enough to settle on the Moon!
