Abstract: In 2017 with a new administration, NASA began to change the objectives for their human exploration program. Last year this new program received the name Artemis, after the sister of Apollo. The Artemis program will use the Space Launch System, the Orion module, and other technologies developed from the Constellation and Orion programs. The goal is to send humans to the Moon by 2024.  Come and learn about the exciting new journey that NASA will be attempting in this new decade including the first moon-walk by a female astronaut.
