@NASAArtemis 15h
#OTD in 1962, President John F. Kennedy helped set the nation on a course for the Moon.
That spirit of exploration lives on. Through Artemis, we will return to the lunar surface, this time to explore a place no human has ever been before: the lunar South Pole region.
The destination is familiar. The frontier is new. And the journey continues.
