Artemis crew members have described their mission as "the greatest dream on Earth" after landing on Saturday and setting a new deep-space travel record.

In both 1968 and 2026, a mission to the Moon offered a refreshing blast of positivity for a conflict-ridden world. So what's different now — and what do we really gain from this new moonshot, five decades after the first?

The Orion space capsule will enter the Earth's atmosphere as a burning fireball, travelling at about 40,000 km/h, splashing down off the coast of southern California. Here's a breakdown of how the spacecraft copes with high temperatures, slows down, and what happens as it splashes down.

NASA has cancelled plans to deploy a space station in lunar orbit and will instead build a $28.7 billion base on the moon's surface.

Thousands of satellites are being launched into space at low Earth orbit, joining hundreds of thousands of pieces of space junk, and it's becoming a real problem.

NASA has cleared its moon rocket for an April launch with four astronauts after completing the latest round of repairs.
