NASA is going back to the moon!
Sometime in 2025 (or perhaps 2026), NASA plans to launch its third Space Launch System (built by Boeing (NYSE: BA) , Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) , L3Harris , Northrop Grumman , and others) on the Artemis 3 moon mission. In orbit around the moon, this SLS megarocket will meet up with a SpaceX Starship, tweaked for lunar landings, transfer its crew from one vessel to the other, and land humans on the moon for the first time in 50-plus years.
Unlike the Apollo program of the 1960s and '70s, however, when mankind reaches the moon this time, we intend to stay.
