NASA’s Artemis project has just received a $1.6B funding boost, which the chief says is a ‘good start’ to landing the first woman on the moon by 2024.
The project to send a man and woman to the south pole of the moon is named after Artemis, the god of the moon and sister of Apollo in Greek mythology.
NASA administrator Jim Bridenstine says he wants his 11 year old daughter to see herself in the same position as the astronauts currently do, having the opportunity to go to the moon.
