Mars, however, remains in NASA’s sights. The agency hopes to use Artemis as a learning opportunity for what it would take to live off-world. Artemis missions will be focused on gathering scientific data about the moon and its resources, and eventually, astronauts will build a base there, the design of which NASA unveiled on Tuesday. The lunar outpost will offer astronauts a deep-space environment in which to live, work and conduct experiments that could be applied to Mars living.
