Artemis Moon Mission

Something remarkable is happening right now—and it’s too good to miss.

NASA's Artemis II mission has sent four astronauts on a 10-day journey around the far side of the Moon—the first lunar mission with a crew in over 50 years.

This is a program worth paying attention to.

NASA's Artemis missions aim to return humans permanently to the Moon and eventually pave the way to Mars. Think of it as infrastructure for the next century of human exploration. In the table, you can see the timeline of how the Artemis program is expected to move forward in the next several years.

The mission underway today is just step two of a journey that has had its share of setbacks in recent years. The Artemis program faced delays, budget fights, and other issues that had many wondering if it would ever get off the ground. But it did. 

Similarly, there will be times when financial markets hit a rough patch, and it can be a challenge to stay focused on your investing goals. But that’s when you need to step back, look past the daily headlines, and realize investing is a commitment.

The Artemis program is also a reminder that when you hit key milestones, it’s worth celebrating. It can make the journey a lot more fun when you take time to celebrate the wins along the way.
