America is set to enter a new space age Monday, Aug. 29, 2022. For the first time in 50 years, the U.S. is reaching for the moon. The Artemis mission is just a start – eventually, NASA’s goal is to build a moon base that will serve as a waystation to Mars. Colorado’s Lockheed Martin built the Orion spacecraft that’s at the heart of the mission. Engineering manager Heather McKay has worked on the project for more than a decade.
