As part of his visit to Central College last week, NASA Astronaut Raja Chari discussed the Artemis Project–a plan to land the first woman and next man on the Moon by 2025. Chari says the goal is getting the first humans back to the lunar surface since Apollo 17 in 1972, and is a collaboration of government space agencies and private spaceflight companies. Chari — whose wife Holly is a 1999 Central College graduate, was one of 18 astronauts chosen for the mission out of 18,000 applicants, and this past May, finished a six-month tour in the International Space Station.
