About this page
This page discusses how Artemis II represents NASA's last moon mission without significant help from Silicon Valley companies. SpaceX's IPO launch coincided with the U.S. sending astronauts to the moon for the first time in 54 years. The article explains that NASA's lunar program originated during the second Bush administration, which developed a massive rocket and the Orion spacecraft. By 2010, budget overruns led to the program being scaled back and paired with a new initiative supporting private rocket companies. This decision secured SpaceX a contract and attracted venture capital into space technology. The Space Launch System (SLS) rocket, the world's most powerful operational rocket, is now carrying three Americans and one Canadian to the moon.
