NASA has released a defiant video outlining details of the Artemis moon mission despite the US government giving just half the requested extra budget to get there by 2024. The Artemis mission will see the first woman and the next man stand on the surface of our nearest stellar neighbour. Congress has only allowed NASA 40 per cent of the $600 million it has been allocated until it presents lawmakers with a multi-years Artemis mission plan. The Apollo missions ran between 1968 and 1972 and saw NASA launch nine human missions to the moon. Artemis missions will launch for the moon on the Space Launch System, the largest rockets ever created.
