Biden Greenlights Artemis Missions

President Joe Biden has approved the Artemis missions of human exploration of the Moon, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki revealed in answer to a reporter's query last week.Artemis 1,an uncrewed test of the Orion spacecraft and Space Launch System rocket,is to be launched later this year.This isn't really a surprise, given the White House request for a NASA Moon rock to display in the Oval Office-which was granted.* Artemis 2 will be the first crewed mission on Orion, taking humans farther into space than ever before in a high lunar orbit-tens of thousands of miles past the Moon.It will prepare the way for the first crewed landing on the Moon since the 1970s.Eventually, the Artemis missions could enable a voyage to Mars in the 2030s.* Lockheed Martin (LMT), Boeing (BA),Aerojet Rocketdyne Holdings (AJRD)
