Today, the Orion spaceship ascends towards the moon. From 2025, humans will set foot on the moon again.
At exactly 2:22 p.m. our time, the US space agency NASA will launch the “Artemis” mission (named after the goddess of the hunt and the moon) at a location steeped in history. Previous Apollo flights have departed from Kennedy Space Center in the US state of Florida.
Eugene Cernan was the last person to walk on the lunar surface in 1972. But that has to change!
This time, the Orion spaceship flies unmanned towards the moon (see image). If all goes according to plan, new missions are on the way: Two NASA astronauts should land on the moon in 2025. “From 2025 to 2030, we Europeans will be there,” confirms Josef Aschbacher, Director General of the European Space Agency (ESA).
It is not yet clear who will receive the ticket to the moon. The only thing that is certain is that it must be a woman and a black man, according to the ESA.
