Will a woman set foot on the Moon soon?
Nasa's Artemis programme is named after the twin sister of Apollo and goddess of the Moon in Greek mythology. Nasa aims to build a new space station close to the Moon called Gateway that will act as a staging point for deep space exploration and lunar missions. The Artemis programme is planned to take place by 2024 and will explore the Moon's south pole region.
