    Apollo to Artemis: NASA Returns to the Moon

    On Saturday, Nov. 26, at 8:42 a.m EST (13:42 UTC) the Orion spacecraft will break the record for farthest distance traveled by a spacecraft designed to carry humans to deep space and safely return them to Earth. This distance is currently held by the Apollo 13 spacecraft. In this video, Apollo astronauts and flight directors give their insights into the Apollo program, the nation’s reaction then, and how the Artemis program will benefit the nation today. As we go back to the Moon, Artemis will prepare us to travel even deeper into space.

  • Season’s Greetings from NASA 2018

    Season’s Greetings from NASA 2018

    On December 24, 1968, Apollo 8 arrived at the Moon and began orbital insertion. The Apollo spacecraft flew most of the way to the Moon sideways,pointed toward celestial “north” for guidance purposes.

    NASA astronauts Frank Borman, James Lovell, William Anders became the first humans to travel beyond low Earth orbit and orbit another celestial body.

    They were also the first humans to see the far side of the Moon, and Earth as a whole planet, taking the famous Earthrise photo.

    On this 50th anniversary of the historic flight of Apollo 8, NASA wishes Season’s Greetings to everyone on the good Earth.
