After almost 50 years since the Apollo Moon landing missions ended, NASA announced that they\\u2019re going to return to the surface of the Moon with their Artemis mission, ideally taking the first lunar footsteps in 2024.

\\n\\n

NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine asked for additional funding to achieve this goal, and the other branches of government haven\\u2019t been as enthusiastic about this plan. So don\\u2019t be surprised if the landing date slips to 2028 or even farther.

\\n\\n

But NASA is moving forward on its architecture to return humans to the Moon, from its launch rocket to the entire method of getting astronauts down to the surface.

\\n\\n

Exactly which rockets, modules and landing systems that will be used are still getting worked out, with different options still getting considered.
