The dawn of a new decade brings great excitement and urgency to America’s space program. With a pace only seen in the Apollo era, NASA is forging ahead with our greatest endeavor since the space shuttle days.
This is the decade when human spaceflight returns to Florida.
Through NASA’s Artemis program, we will see the first woman and next man land on the moon by 2024. And what we learn on the moon will lead to America’s next giant leap —human exploration of Mars. The moon is a natural stepping stone to Mars, where we will demonstrate new technologies, perfect capabilities, and learn what is needed to send astronauts to the Red Planet.
