The Artemis Lunar Program : returning people to the moon This book describes the future of the Artemis Lunar Program from the years 2017 to about 2030. Despite the uncertainty of the times and the present state of space exploration it is likely that what is presented in this book will actually happen to one degree or another. As history has taught us predictions are often difficult but one can see enough into the future to be somewhat accurate. As the Bible says “We see thru the glass but darkly.” All of the elements of the proposed program are described from several perspectives: NASA’s the commercial space industry and our International partners. Also included are descriptions of the many vehicles habitats landers payloads and experiments. The book tells the story of the buildup of a very small space station in a strange new lunar orbit and the descent of payloads and humans including the first women and next man to the lunar surface with the intent to evolve a sustained presence over time.
