Jubilant return of Artemis II shadowed by ‘extinction-level’ cuts to Nasa: ‘It’s discordant’ | Artemis II
NASA's administrator, Jared Isaacman, praised the astronauts of Artemis II for their inspiring words and historic lunar journey. The Orion capsule successfully splashed down in the Pacific Ocean after a 10-day mission, marking the first crewed lunar voyage since 1972. The successful mission is considered a major achievement for NASA, but it faces challenges from President Trump's proposed budget cuts that could impact future space exploration efforts. Despite these concerns, NASA remains committed to its ambitious plans for a permanent lunar base and future missions. The agency will celebrate the Artemis II success while preparing for Artemis III next year, which will test human landing systems on the moon.
