When Orion’s astronauts landed in the waters of the Pacific Ocean on April 10, the most important phase of the Artemis II moon mission was completed. Artemis-II is the new program of the American space agency, NASA, to land a man on the moon again after almost fifty years. The success of this mission is a historical milestone in the sense that it has not only successfully brought man to the depths of space once again, but now also paves the way for landing on the moon and conquering Mars in the future.

The nearly ten-day mission proved once again that humans have the ability to enter an inanimate, dangerous space millions of miles away from Earth and then successfully return safely. Four astronauts were involved in this historic space journey.

One of the special features of this mission is that, unlike other missions that go around the moon, a new path was chosen in this space journey, which was called “Free Return Trajectory”. This route made it possible for the first time for astronauts to orbit the far side of the Moon.

Several other countries in the world, China, France, Russia and India, have succeeded in sending their spacecraft to the Moon, but also to Mars, but the program to land a man on the Moon again has started 54 years ago. It should be noted, through the “Mission Apollo-11” of NASA’s Apollo series, man first stepped on the moon on July 20, 1969, while the last mission of this series, Apollo-17, was completed in December 1972.

In the last century, man has made remarkable progress in various fields of science and technology. That is why it is said that the progress in science and technology in this century has never happened before in history. The concept of amazing objects is found in fairy tales, magic, magicians, ghosts and fairy tales, but in reality, such things did not exist anywhere, which can be seen everywhere today thanks to scientific progress.

After the Renaissance in the 15th century, the era of science fiction began, in which science fiction masters such as HG Wells and Jules Verne presented dreams of turning magic into reality through scientific wonder. Wells’ “From the Earth to the Moon” tells the story of man’s journey to the moon for the first time and shows him dreams of reaching the moon, while Jules presents the same story in a different way in “The First Man in the Moon”.

Similarly, other stories presented concepts like reaching the bottom of the ocean and orbiting the earth. One of the special features of these stories was that they were based on a scientific principle. As in the stories of the moon journey, Galileo’s and Newton’s principles of the universe and gravitation were shown to apply. These stories and the experiments and observations of scientists together encouraged man to turn his dreams about the universe into reality. Thus man began to unleash the magic of his creativity.

The creation of the train, cars running on the roads, airplanes flying through the air, submarines landing on the ocean floor and then space rockets, satellites to the Internet and mobile phones are all proof of human capabilities. Today, the noise of artificial intelligence is everywhere, this is also possible due to the increasing steps of man in the scientific world and it is also a proof that nature has given the human mind the ability to do what it thinks. And we will deny the blessings of the Lord.

The Artemis program is actually the second installment of the “Apollo series”. Remember, Artemis was a Greek giant goddess of Malay mythology and the twin sister of Apollo, whom the Greeks considered a god. It also shows the symbolic convergence of the Apollo and Artemis programs. The aim of both is to land a man on the moon.

While this program made possible further explorations in space, it would be fair to say that it also started to land man on the moon, but it also started the journey of man to Mars, as it also explored the possibility of permanent human habitation on the moon. Most of the scientists are of the opinion that the human journey to Mars should be decided in two parts.

First land on the moon and then travel to Mars. Mars is the closest planet to Earth in the Solar System and, according to experiments so far, its atmosphere is more compatible with Earth than that of other planets. Apart from America, China, Russia and many European countries have orbited Mars, which means that this planet has come within human reach.

The total cost of NASA’s Artemis program is estimated at $93 billion. The primary purpose of Mission Two was to test the spacecraft’s life support systems, communication systems, which would receive instructions from a ground-based control center, and test human performance during long journeys into space. This period spanned about ten days this time, which was successfully completed and the tasks assigned to the astronauts were satisfactorily completed.

Space scientists realized that now through this mission it will be possible for man to land on the moon again. According to the date given so far, 2028 will be the time when man will land on the moon. According to experts, the return phase after landing on the moon is the most difficult phase, as it requires precise timing. After leaving Earth’s orbit, Orion followed a free trajectory.

It is a method used in spaceflight, in which a spacecraft automatically returns to Earth using the gravity of a planet (such as the Moon or Earth) without using any additional fuel (propulsion).

During the journey, Orion came within 4,000 miles of the lunar surface, from where the astronauts took pictures of the lunar landscape and conducted several experiments. The farthest point of this journey was 252,000 miles from Earth, making history in human space travel. It was the first time that a manned spacecraft reached this point. After orbiting the Moon, the return journey began, ending with a landing in the Pacific Ocean.

where the astronauts were welcomed by the already existing crew. Orion’s return from the moon proved that NASA was capable of landing a man on the moon once again. The difference between Artemis-One and Two was that One was an unmanned mission, while all other components and procedures were the same as Artemis-Two.

Currently, there is a space race going on in the world, which includes America, Russia, China, Japan and India. During the last half century, they have launched unmanned spacecraft to the moon. Among them are the Soviet Union’s Luna (Luna) in 1966, China’s Kacheng-3 in 2013, India’s Chandrayaan in 2023 and Japan’s Salam in 2024. These words of Apollo 11 astronaut “One small step for man one giant leap for mankind” have been recorded in history.

Many people have been under the illusion that it was America’s deception, although today China, Japan, Russia and India have also successfully landed their spaceships on the moon, but anyway, America has the upper hand in this matter. Now the world has traveled beyond the moon to Mars. It is surprising that people are talking to their brothers and friends in a village in Australia eight thousand miles away from their home, but they think landing on the moon is a drama. People who have even a little knowledge of the wonders of science and technology in today’s world, can understand how far man has reached in the infinite spaces.

Communications satellites are part of the iSpace program, which ushered television into the global era. Interestingly, space travel in the US has now been handed over to the private sector and Elon Musk’s company, SpaceX, is the first company to offer space travel to ordinary people. Who knows, the day will come soon, when science fiction becomes a reality and human beings come and go to different planets, including the moon, become a normal thing.

And this is not such a strange thing, that it is not possible to happen. Today, the missions of different countries are constantly coming into space and such a journey has become a routine, but until a century ago, did not man consider it a magical story? Planes are flying through the air, in which ordinary people travel, previously only jinns and fairies did in magical stories.

Today, it is not unusual for Pakistan and Australia to sit down and talk to each other, but even share live with each other at conferences and private events, but until recently such images were interpreted as magic. In order to realize our dreams, we should not forget our great scientists from Ibn Sina and Ibn Rushd to Galileo, Newton and Einstein etc. Science is a great gift of nature to man, which cannot be thanked because it has changed the standards of life, it has also opened new doors of creation for human thinking.

The success of Artemis-2 is a major breakthrough in space exploration and the experiences gained from this mission will open up new avenues of space exploration, while the success of this mission also brightens the prospects for the success of Artemis-3, which is the final link in the program that will once again land humans on the moon.

Remember, before this, man had set foot on the moon for the last time through Apollo-17, after which the program was suspended, which gave rise to many doubts and doubts. For example, if man really went to the moon, why is he not going again after all these years? They fail to understand that the space program is one of the few programs in which major powers are cooperating against each other.

Astronauts from both countries spend months on a joint space station between Russia and the United States, even though the two world powers are seemingly enemies on Earth. In fact, there is a broad consensus among these powers, otherwise why did the Soviet Union disintegrate despite possessing the largest number of atomic bombs in the world, and then why did the United States help in its reconstruction? If there was a small country or a less strong leadership, it would destroy itself and destroy others by throwing its missiles and hydrogen bombs at the world in the name of its survival.

In space, America, Russia, China, India and Japan cooperate and share information with each other, so no one minds why America or any other country is going to the moon or Mars. Undoubtedly, the Artemis mission marks the beginning of a new era in space travel and human settlement of planets. It can also be said that instead of going to the moon or mars it is better to focus on human welfare works, so it is important to mention that fields like medical science are also benefiting from space exploration.

Space exploration is also playing a fundamental role in addressing Earth’s greatest challenge, “climate change”. The results obtained from these missions are also making it easier to predict the changes taking place on Earth. Information on how the temperature and atmosphere of Earth or other planets is controlled is also being collected. Also, scientists are confident that these missions will not only make human settlement on the moon possible, but also the dream of man reaching Mars will soon become a reality.
