Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Concept: General-awareness questions about ongoing space missions test whether you know the officially announced programme name and its stated objective, as published by the space agency running it, rather than the underlying science.

Application: NASA's plans to return humans to the Moon date to 2017, and the programme was formally named Artemis in 2019. It is built around the Orion crew capsule and the Space Launch System rocket, and is explicitly designed to land the first woman and the first person of color on the Moon and to use new technology, landers, and spacesuits to explore lunar regions - including the south pole - that were never explored during earlier missions.

Cross-check: none of the other names refers to a real crewed lunar mission of this kind.

  • Cosmos names a long-running series of Soviet/Russian uncrewed satellites, not a NASA crewed lunar programme.

  • Time Travel is a science-fiction concept with no corresponding real space-agency mission.

  • Apollo Unlimited is not a real programme name; the historic Apollo programme (1969-1972) first landed men, not women, on the Moon and concluded decades ago.

So the mission described in the stem is Artemis.
