With NASA’s Artemis project to create a permanent habitat on the Moon and author Andy Weir’s brilliant 2017 novel of the same name at its core, the Museum of Science Fiction will take a look man’s permanent return to the lunar surface.
A collaborative effort between NASA and commercial industries, the Artemis program intends to land the next man and the first woman on the Moon by 2024, using innovative technologies to explore more of the lunar surface than ever before with the fully expressed intention to take the next giant leap – sending astronauts to Mars.
Weir’s 2017 science fiction novel, Artemis, takes the NASA project one-step farther. Set in the late 2080s, Artemis is the first and – to that point – only city on the Moon. The program will be moderated by Paul Stimers, which, in addition to Weir will feature NASA scientist C. Alex Young.
