Artemis II and the Story of the Moon

About this episode

This episode discusses the Artemis II moon mission and the history of lunar exploration.

I've loved following the Artemis II moon mission this week! Now let's take the time to learn a little more about the Moon. For thousands of years, people studied the Moon and wondered what it was made of. In 1969, astronauts from Apollo 11 became the first humans to walk on the Moon, marking an important moment in exploration. Scientists continue to study the Moon to learn more about space, the early solar system, and the history of Earth itself. 👉 Upgrade your bedding with Quince for free shipping and 365-day returns: ⁠⁠www.quince.com/bedtimehistory⁠⁠ 📖 We published our first book, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Explorer Society: World's Fair Conspiracy⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🎉 Check out our new show, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Bedtime Safari⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠! 📢 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Donate via Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for a shout-out! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠📺⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠500+ YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Videos⁠
