Will the Artemis III astronauts land on the Moon this time?

NASA has unveiled the Artemis III crew: Randy Bresnik, Luca Parmitano, Andre Douglas, and Frank Rubio. But despite the name, Artemis III won't be a Moon landing mission. Launching aboard Orion on NASA's SLS rocket, the crew will test critical docking operations with lunar lander test vehicles from SpaceX and Blue Origin. The mission is designed to pave the way for Artemis IV, currently planned as the first Artemis Moon landing mission at the lunar South Pole. Here's everything you need to know about Artemis III, Orion, SLS, SpaceX, Blue Origin, and NASA's roadmap back to the Moon. Video edited using footage owned by NASA.
