Episode notes
NASA’s Artemis III crew is set to blast off in 2027, testing a new lunar lander in low Earth orbit with commander Randy Bresnik, mission specialists Andre Douglas (making his debut) and Frank Rubio, plus pilot Luca Parmitano. While three astronauts boast deep space experience, Douglas steps into orbit for the first time. Though Artemis III won’t land on the moon, it’s a crucial rehearsal for Orion’s docking with private landers — including Blue Origin’s, which recently suffered a test explosion. Still, NASA’s Jared Isaacman remains on track for a moon landing by 2028, with SpaceX’s Starship variant eyed for future missions. This is just the beginning — Artemis aims to build a lunar base, starting with Artemis V, and eventually use the moon as a stepping stone to Mars.
