It s been 50 years since the last human set foot on the moon on apollo 17. but starting tomorrow, nasa will be making an even bigger leap for mankind and now womankind. the space shuttle artemis, named after the twin sister of the moon will take flight tomorrow as nasa prepares to send humans farther than they ve ever been. if it goes well, they plan to establish a long-term presence on the moon, and for the first time, nasa will be sending a woman and person of color. artemis is just the beginning for nasa as they hope to continue to expand our presence of reaching the galaxy to mars and beyond. you can watch the live launch tomorrow morning. thanks so much for spending your sunday morning with us. the news continues next. ....

Early in september. this debut outing is a test with no crew aboard, but future missions will send astronauts back to the lunar surface. professor katherinejoy, a planetary scientist from the university of manchester, explained to me the difference between the artemis and apollo missions. so it s similar in a sense that there is a very large rocket, which is what is being tested tomorrow, which will be launched to the moon, but it s different in that this time around we hope we can stay for longer. so apollo was a flag planting mission, there was some great science that was achieved by the six missions that successfully visited the moon, but with artemis we kind of want to go beyond this. we want to go to the moon, learn how to live there and sustain a presence where we can have a research presence with people on the moon for a long period of time. so landing a base, delivering logistic supplies and learning how to do this in the longer term so that we can learn, developing a technolog ....
Mars and beyond. and tomorrow is the big crucible test with the biggest rocket we have ever built. so, first big step hopefully will happen tomorrow during that two-hour window. i m just fascinated by, you know what happens, once we do bring the first woman and the first person of color on the moon, in 2025. i was reading about this base camp with the lunar cabin and the mobile home and a rover. it just sounds like science fiction, i don t think it will be. you re pretty hopeful this will happen in 2025 and what will we see in terms of explore ration on the moon and astronauts living and working on the moon? yeah. everything sounds like science fiction until somebody actually takes the risk and organizes and does it. it is only one long human lifetime ago that the first person got to the south pole and now thousands of people live in antarctica, and now a continent ....
For a long period of time. so landing a base, delivering logistic supplies and learning how to do this in the longer term so that we can learn, developing a technology to then hopefully go elsewhere in the solar system in the future, such as mars and beyond mars as well. how likely is it that tourists will get to visit? because that always seems to be one of the aspirations. maybe you have to be an extremely wealthy person to do it but nonetheless it s on some people s bucket lists. so i think the next step for space tourism is going to be low earth orbit, so it will be a taste of moving beyond the types of flights we see now, where people get a few minutes of weightlessness, to actually be able to stay into orbit for a few days and then maybe in the future i think maybe ten years, 20 years away, orbiting the moon and then eventually touching down on the surface. i don t see why that isn t a vision for the future, ....
