Project Apollo, carried out by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was the first program to succeed in landing the first humans on the Moon. Fifty years later, a new generation at NASA is suiting up for a historic return to the moon.
Thanks to the Artemis programme, a woman will step on the lunar surface for the first time. “I hope that by following the journey of the first woman to step on the moon, more than 50 years after the first Apollo landing, this series will inspire a new generation of young people to dream without limits. We are excited for the Artemis Generation,” said the Director of “Return To The Moon”, Rothwell said.
NASA In collaboration with the National Geographic, NASA will give viewers an all-access pass to this group of intrepid astronauts and their colleagues, documenting their efforts, ambitions, sacrifices and breakthrough first steps in the special event series “Return To The Moon”.
National Geographic will report and photograph in the laboratories and in the field for major milestones. The brand’s latest digital and social media innovations will be utilised to provide audiences with an immersive, multimedia experience. Viewers will get a rare look behind-the-scenes, bringing them on a once-in-a-generation journey and introducing them to Artemis’ key players.
“By bringing our feature documentary background and sensibility to their stories, our focus will be on the intimate and often high-stakes emotional moments that no-one else will capture as the spotlight of the world falls on this pioneering endeavour, which will include the first woman stepping onto the lunar surface,” said Simon and Jonathan Chinn Producers of the series.
