Vice President Kamala Harris announced that an international astronaut will land on the moon as part of NASA's Artemis program, allowing them to join the exclusive club of only 12 members who have walked on the lunar surface. The Artemis missions will have room for four astronauts, with two descending to the moon while the others orbit. NASA has committed to providing opportunities for European, Canadian, and Japanese astronauts to fly to the moon. The first mission, Artemis III, is scheduled for the end of 2025, but the timeline may be affected by the development of a SpaceX lander.
