Reflections on NASA's Artemis I Mission: Henry Louis Gates Jr.

Reflections on NASA's Artemis I Mission: Henry Louis Gates Jr. 

Henry Louis Gates Jr. reflects on the Artemis I mission around the Moon:

"These images reveal with stunning, humbling sublimity, the triumph of the human spirit in breaking beyond the confines of the Earth. Let us hope that this milestone will inspire us to transcend 'all possible manner of differences,' as the great Du Bois once put it, and keep foremost in mind all that we have in common as human beings; as sisters and brothers here on Earth." 

Though Artemis I is an uncrewed mission, what we've learned from our flight test of Orion and NASA's Space Launch System will help us get ready for future Artemis missions, which will build a long-term human presence on the Moon—and prepare us to land the first NASA Astronauts on Mars.

With Artemis missions, NASA will land the first woman and first person of color on the Moon, using innovative technologies to explore more of the lunar surface than ever before.
