"It takes people like this to make our country great."   The four-member crew — commander Reid Wiseman, pilot Victor Glover, mission specialist Christina Koch, and Canadian mission specialist Jeremy Hansen — returned to Earth earlier this month after a 10-day test flight for future missions to the lunar surface.   NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman said the U.S. now has an "achievable plan" to soon return astronauts to the surface of the moon for the first time since 1972.   "We're back in the business of launching moon rockets with frequency," Mr. Isaacman told reporters. "We just sent Artemis II around the moon. We're going to launch Artemis III in 2027. We'll protect for up to two opportunities in 2028 to return astronauts to the surface of the moon."   #trump #nasa #artemisii #space #cspan Tue, 05 May 2026 15:43:48 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://motube.smithandtech.com https://motube.smithandtech.com/lazy-static/avatars/933c9118-81c8-4e69-a82c-512c3a13a060.jpg https://motube.smithandtech.com/videos/watch/3718ecdf-5330-45c5-a5fa-b60d64b5e527 All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://motube.smithandtech.com/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
