Additionally, NASA is exploring the potential for mining valuable resources on the Moon.
The inclusion of an international astronaut in the upcoming lunar mission represents a collaborative effort to advance space exploration and research. With plans to expand human presence beyond Earth, the Artemis program is paving the way for continued exploration and discovery in the vast reaches of outer space.
