The $37 billion Orion spacecraft is set to launch from Kennedy Space Center on Monday. The unmanned lunar rocket will take a lap around the moon to test its capabilities before returning to earth six-weeks later.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">This morning I had my first look at the fully assembled <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Artemis1?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Artemis1<\/a> rocket \u2013 I\u2019m speechless!

While there will be no crew onboard, NASA astronauts are excited for its launch because its success brings them \u201cone giant leap\u201d closer to a moon landing mission. If everything goes according to plan, there could be a crew flying around the moon in 2024 and a moon landing in 2025. That would be 56-years after Neil Armstrong took a giant leap for mankind.<\/p>\n<p>However, NASA explained that this lunar landing has a different set of objectives than Apollo 11 did.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cWe\u2019re going to be sustainable this time,\u201d Free said. \u201cThat doesn\u2019t mean we\u2019re staying 365 days a year. It means that we\u2019re going to be able to stay for 30 days and help enable others to stay there while we\u2019re not there.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The agency recently announced 13-possible landing sites on the lunar south pole for Artemis Mission 3. It would be the first-time humans have ever visited the permanently shadowed regions of the moon and it would serve as a steppingstone for future missions to Mars. NASA astronaut, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/astronauts\/biographies\/randolph-j-bresnik\">Randolph Bresnik<\/a> spoke on the potential mission.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cIf you think of going to the moon as, you know, a camping expedition and Mars being a further out camping expedition, you\u2019re not going to go out to the Alaskan wilderness with just going to the sporting goods store and buying a tent and getting your boots that are brand new out of the box. And you\u2019re not going to go out to the Alaskan wilderness without having tried that stuff and yet broken it in \u2013 make sure it works,\u201d explained Bresnik. \u201cYou\u2019re going to go to some local place. It\u2019s a little closer that maybe, you know, you can come back pretty quickly, come back home if you\u2019re if your shoelaces break or something like that. We\u2019re not going to have that option when we go to Mars. It\u2019s you know, we take everything that we need with us.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The last manned mission to the moon was Apollo 17. That mission occurred in December of 1972. So why has it taken more than half-a-century to take another \u201csmall step\u201d back on the moon\u2019s surface? NASA spokesperson Derrol Nail said it has much to do with previous presidential administrations and with them changing national priorities.<\/p>\n<p>President Obama wasted eight years that could\u2019ve been spent getting Americans beyond low earth orbit. His cancellation of Project Constellation drew public outrage from the space exploration community, including from famous astronauts Neil Armstrong and James Lovell. Obama\u2019s pie-in-the-sky <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/content\/nasas-journey-to-mars\">Journey to Mars Program<\/a> was seen as a last-ditch effort to save face. The \u201cobamacare of space exploration,\u201d was expensive, unsustainable and not designed to do what it promised.<\/p>\n<p>Now, the inspiration and dedication to go back to the moon and to further explore deep space has been renewed. It was advanced in hyper-speed under President Trump\u2019s watch.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/unvaccinated-marine-describes-the-havoc-bidens-mandate-wrought\/\">Unvaccinated Marine Describes The Havoc Biden\u2019s Mandate Wrought<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The NASA moon rocket stands ready less than 24 hours before it is scheduled to launch on Pad 39B for the Artemis 1 mission to orbit the moon at the Kennedy Space Center, Sunday, Aug. 28, 2022, in Cape Canaveral, Fla.
