233 – NASA, Artemis and Orion!

Human beings are going back to the moon! As I recorded this episode, Artemis II was on its journey to the moon and back again, with four crew members on board the Orion spacecraft. But what do Artemis and Orion have to do with each other? Quite a lot, actually! These two were hunting buddies who loved to explore the wilderness together. There are many twists on the myth, but all of them ended badly for poor Orion. NASA is rewriting the tale so that Artemis and Orion are once more exploring the last true wilderness — space — but with a happy partnership for them this time.
