The Artemis II crew is returning home after an extraordinary journey that saw them orbit the moon, capturing stunning images of both the lunar landscape and the Milky Way. However, this mission was not solely about capturing breathtaking photographs.
“The experiments on human health conducted during this mission are crucial,” explained Lakiesha Hawkins from NASA. “They provide the data necessary for extended lunar habitation as we work towards establishing a moon base. This information is also essential for preparing for longer journeys, such as a future mission to Mars.”
