In early February 2025, NASA plans to launch the Artemis II mission and send four astronauts on the first trip around the Moon in more than 50 years. Photo: Google Images FX. Although Artemis II will not land on the Moon's surface, NASA's ultimate goal is to establish a permanent base on the Moon's surface. Photo: NASA. The base would likely be nuclear-powered, capable of providing permanent accommodation for astronauts, and could be built from materials found on the Moon's surface. Photo: NASA.
According to the Artemis II plan, the Orion spacecraft carrying four astronauts will make a 10-day flight, flying more than 9,260 km beyond the Moon in a “free return” orbit before returning to Earth.

The success of the Artemis II mission will be an important stepping stone to prepare for Artemis III, the mission to bring humans back to the surface of the Moon. Photo: NASA.
Besides the plan to conquer the Moon, the acting NASA Director also shared about America's ambitions for the Mars mission. Photo: NASA. When asked how successful NASA will be in the next decade, Mr. Duffy said the agency will "make great strides in its mission to Mars."
