NASA 2025: To the Moon, Mars, and Beyond

Preparing to orbit and do science on the Moon, investigating how solar wind interacts with Mars, and demonstrating quiet supersonic flight are just a FEW of the milestones we have planned for 2025.

[Victor Glover] We need to celebrate this moment in human history.
0:12
Because Artemis II is more than
0:13
a mission to the Moon and back.
0:15
It's more than a mission
0:16
that has to happen before we send
0:18
people to the surface of the Moon.
0:20
It is the next step on the journey
0:22
that gets humanity to Mars.

0:34
[Jim Free] When we hear those words
0:35
we have touchdown.
0:36
It's our next step to understanding
0:39
how the Moon formed,
0:40
that next move to land humans.

[Bob Pearce] You've got to see the X-59
1:10
because it is one cool airplane.
1:12
We continue modification to the aircraft
1:14
that will become the X-66
1:16
[Eugene Parker] When have a space mission into an unknown place,
1:20
you find remarkable things that you did not anticipate.
1:25
[Erika Podest] This mission is going to be game changing.
1:28
[Phil Barela] Virtually everybody on this Earth is going to be affected
1:30
by the science data that NISAR is going to return.
1:33
[Nicky Fox] At any given moment, we have 140
1:36
active missions across the solar system.
1:39
NASA science is literally everywhere.
1:43
Science enables exploration
1:46
and exploration, enables science.
