I was recently reading the April 2, 2026, NSTA Blog, a publication of the National Science Teaching Association.

In this blog I read an article written by Christine Anne Royce. She wrote an article entitled "A New Dawn on the Lunar Horizon: #WeAreGoing."

On April 1, 2026, the Space Launch System engines ignited, lift off occurred, and Artemis II headed to the moon. It carried the first four humans to venture into the deep-space proving ground in over a half century.
