Modern space exploration is driven as much by processors as it is by rockets. And it remains the ultimate test of our collective ingenuity.

As NASA prepares for its Artemis II mission, a Central Florida man who helped make the first moon landing possible is reflecting on decades of progress in space exploration.

Former NASA chief of staff Bale Dalton talks about the work that went into the Artemis mission plan and what to watch for on the journey.

NASA now believes there could be hundreds of billions of gallons of water on the moon. According to one theory a collision 4.5 billion years ago between the early Earth and a Mars-sized planet called Theia spun off the Moon and deposited large amounts of water. That is likely have been topped up by water-bearing asteroids and meteors.

Laurie Leshin, professor with ASU’s School of Earth and Space Exploration, spoke about how the Artemis II launch brings NASA one step closer to sending people to the moon again.

Artemis II will test NASA’s crew capabilities in deep space and gather more information that could ultimately help send astronauts to Mars.

Omega’s Speedmaster has long been Nasa’s go-to, but other space programmes are exploring partnerships with the likes of IWC Schaffhausen, Fortis and Barrelhand.

NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman says answering the question of alien life is inherent in all space exploration, and the odds of finding evidence at some point that suggests we’re not alone is “pretty high.
