SpaceX Now Claims They Might Return Humans to The Moon Even Before 2024
The planned 2024 mission, known as Artemis III, will be the first human lunar landing in over 50 years and is the start of larger plans for NASA. It is planned to have two astronauts on the surface of the Moon for about one week. The mission is intended to be the first to place a woman on the Moon.
Thanks for the summary. It provides useful context and background information around the claim by Elon Musk.
"First woman on the moon" would be quite a milestone. In the '70s, I can remember believing that there would be permanent outposts on the moon by the turn of the century. It was disappointing when the Lunar missions ended, but I am glad to see that progress is resuming now.
