PCS has been following the progress of the Artemis missions to the moon. This is a NASA led, but internationally supported, mission to not just go to the moon but to actually colonize the moon within this decade. Artemis 2 mission will be taking off in Nov. 2024 and just last week it was announced that a Canadian, Jeremy Hansen, will be the first Canadian, and first non-American, to go into both deep space and too the moon.
