NASA has released a 'Moon Base User's Guide' to expand on its plans for a permanent lunar base and a trip to Mars.

The Artemis 2 moon astronauts said they gained a deeper understanding of their Orion capsule —and what they learned bodes well for future Artemis flights.

If the U.S. is ever to set up a permanent outpost on the moon, it will need nuclear power. The White House just released a road map to get it as soon as 2028

With the Artemis II crew members back home in Houston following their historic journey to the moon, NASA is already preparing for its next mission in the Artemis program, launching as soon as next year.

Artemis 2 kicks off a lunar "relay race" that will lead the NASA and its partners to a moon base and, eventually, Mars, NASA chief Jared Isaacman says.

NASA had been using the phrase "moon joy" on its social media accounts as the Artemis 2 crew approached the moon.

The Trump administration released a memo detailing plans for a nuclear reactor on the Moon by 2030 to advance U.S. space exploration and defense.

By all accounts, the Artemis II lunar flyby was a rousing success that will serve as a critical stepping stone to future missions to the moon's surface and beyond.
