There are still people who, to this day, do not believe that man has stepped on the Moon, so now they have another opportunity to verify it.

The Artemis program is a manned space program run by NASA, in collaboration with commercial space flight companies and other space agencies, with the goal of sending "the first woman and the next man" to the Moon.

As part of this project is another called The Gateway, which aims to put a spacecraft into lunar orbit as a space station, from which small forays can be made to the lunar surface.

This ship will be launched in 2022 and will also serve as a laboratory to make scientific experiments and temporary residence for astronauts.

Well, to carry out all this, NASA has hired the services of SpaceX owned by Elon Musk to take charge of the logistics supply of the station and its crew.

All this during the next 15 years for the modest price of US $ 7,000 million.

This, albeit indirectly, will serve to pave the way to a permanent lunar station and will also serve all participants as training for future missions to Mars.
