NASA's Artemis mission aims to land humans on the Moon this week—the first visit since Apollo 17 in 1972, marking a 53-year gap. The mission's Orion capsule, carrying four astronauts, is 30% more pressurized than the Apollo command module, enhancing safety. This return outperforms #6's lunar ambitions, which remain uncrewed. A successful landing would make Artemis the most ambitious lunar surface mission in history.
