Artemis 1 is the first stage of a series of missions designed to send astronauts back to the moon as part of NASA’s Artemis program.

Here’s what you should know about it

NASA is on a mission to return astronauts to the moon as part of the Artemis program.

Its inaugural Artemis I mission will be an uncrewed expedition around the moon and serve as practice for future missions to Mars.

‘’And it’s back to the Moon and then on to Mars.”

Here’s everything else you need to know about Artemis 1

NASA’s mega moon rocket – the Space Launch System – is scheduled to lift off on August 29.

“Ladies and gentlemen, the world’s most powerful rocket ever right here.’’
NASA administrator, Bill Nelson

Sitting on top of the 322-foot-tall rocket is the Orion astronaut capsule.

It is designed to separate from the rocket in space, ferry humans toward the moon

and rendezvous with a separate spacecraft that will take astronauts to the lunar surface.

The Space Launch System-Orion cost $37 billion to develop, including ground systems.

For the Artemis 1 mission, the Orion capsule will launch atop the Space Launch System without any humans

and orbit the moon before returning to Earth 42 days later.

If all goes according to plan, subsequent Artemis missions will follow, sending astronauts around the moon and back.

Artemis I is a crucial, long-delayed demonstration trip to the moon for NASA.

The U.S. space agency hasn’t sent any humans to the moon since 1972, when Apollo 17 astronaut Eugene Cernan left the last footprints on the lunar surface.

“NASA’s Artemis program will pave the way for humanity’s giant leap, future missions to Mars. There’s no doubt that we are in a golden era of human space exploration, discovery and ingenuity in space, and it all begins with Artemis 1.”
NASA administrator, Bill Nelson

Nvidia’s £68.1 billion revenue, up 73%, raises investor concerns about AI’s impact and tech customers’ financial health.

Nvidia posted strong quarterly earnings, but Wall Street remained unimpressed, causing shares to fall 5%. Analysts point to investor concerns over AI dominance and a stalled $100 billion deal with OpenAI.

Experts discuss what factors in the earnings report failed to meet market expectations, including revenue projections and details around the Vera Rubin chip architecture. Competition from alternative chipmakers and scrutiny of hyperscaler cash flows are also shaping investor sentiment.

Despite recent setbacks, analysts remain cautiously bullish on Nvidia, highlighting long-term AI potential and the company’s dominant position in the chip market.
