Future generations will learn about the Artemis II mission in school, and the immense steps forward made by man since the 1970s are evident in the mission.

The outcome of the investment made by NASA through the United States government is noticeable.

I watched the mission on television and YouTube and it was universally impressive from those I asked. I was impressed at the 40,000 km re-entry speed which proved the new heat shield for the crew on board. Shielding is essential for future Mars missions, and the technology proved to be formidable to protect the crew as designed.

Another important feature of the mission is recycling of parts from former rockets. Commercial space exploration ventures including SpaceX reuse parts and the government has taken note. NASA reused three rocket engines from previous shuttles and other components and equipment were reused. If we go to Mars, we will need to reuse parts and be frugal in our engineering process.

Communications technology is another point of focus used during the mission. Laser communications decrease the lag time traditionally seen during space missions. Further missions to Mars will require such technology to increase communications effectiveness. Communications are key for everything humans do.

Artemis II was amazing to watch. Check out the video.
