The Artemis mission should allow Man to return to the Moon in 2025.

In 2025, a gigantic rocket will land on the Moon. On board the Starship spacecraft, designed by SpaceX, two American astronauts. After a few hours of preparation, they descend from the freight elevator perched 38 m high. It has been 53 years since a human has set foot on the lunar surface. The return to the Moon will be gradual. The first missions will only last seven days during which the astronauts will live in their ship. A few outings will allow you to install equipment or explore the surroundings with a lunar Jeep.

As the missions progress, the base camp will accommodate four astronauts for missions of one to two months. The goal is to study the satellite, but also to test new technologies, such as spacesuits or vehicles. All the details are not yet known, but the astronauts will leave with the same ship. The mission will serve as a test before considering a major trip to Mars.
