The Apollo missions changed how scientists understand the moon. Returning with Artemis could help solve some of the biggest lunar mysteries.
History recalls the names of Borman, Lovell, and Anders; of Apollo 11’s Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins, and Buzz Aldrin; of Apollo 13’s Lovell, Jack Swigert, and Fred Haise. It may soon recall, as well, Artemis II’s Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen.
