Just retired NASA astronaut Sunita Williams on Thursday said the upcoming Moon mission under the Artemis programme would give her “FOMO”, even as she finds joy in rediscovering Earth and the places she once viewed from orbit. ADVERTISEMENT"Who doesn't want to go to the Moon... That was the whole reason I wanted to join NASA in the first place. NASA is preparing to launch Artemis II, its first crewed Moon mission since 1972, with four astronauts scheduled to orbit the Moon in 2026. "I have also discovered some really great places on Earth that I hadn't visited when I was in space. Williams first flew into space aboard shuttle Discovery in December 2006 and returned with Atlantis in 2007.
