Nasa wants to send four astronauts to the Moon in 2027 in its Artemis programme.

Nasa hopes to use a modified version of the spaceship as a human lunar lander for its Artemis missions to return to the Moon.

The mission is part of Nasa's long-term goal to take humans back to the lunar surface, as the agency hopes to send astronauts in 2027 with the Artemis programme.

The Artemis program is likely to be a huge focus during the transition; planetary defense hasn’t emerged as a talking point for the administration.

After years of delays, NASA’s Artemis missions to the Moon commenced in a big way more than two years ago, starting with the unmanned Artemis 1 in November 2022.
