Man could be living on the moon before the end of the decade, a leading Nasa official has said following the successful launch of the Artemis rocket.
After a series of failed launch attempts earlier in the year, Artemis 1 took off on Wednesday from the Kennedy Space Centre in Florida.
The Artemis is carrying the Orion lunar spacecraft which is manned with a manikin – a model of the human body used to measure the impacts of the flight on the body.He told the BBC’s Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg: ”It’s the first step we’re taking to long-term deep space exploration, for not just the United States but for the world.
Named after the Greek goddess of the moon and sister to the god Apollo, namesake of Nasa’s first moon missions, the Artemis programme will see the construction of the Lunar Gateway – a new space station where astronauts will be able to live and work.
