So will there be astronauts on Artemis III?
They will be, and they haven't actually announced who they are yet yet.
I think that there was, I mean, those astronauts, the Artemis III astronauts were going to be the ones that landed on the moon.
So maybe it'd be a bit of a demotion if you're, if you just have to do a couple of orbits of the Earth.
It would be so nice, yeah.
So Artemis 4 is when we will hopefully get a moon landing.
Actually, it's already happening.
So the European Space Agency's Moonlight Program is actually hoping to launch a network of satellites, and that will be around the moon.
So it'll work quite similar to the way that they do on Earth, and it'll mean that when a spacecraft goes around the moon, they'll be able to use that satellite around
that would be closer to Earth and visible from Earth so that we could just get the connection directly, and we wouldn't have any of those blackouts that we had on this mission.
Peter, you are my kind of nerd.
Do we have time to go into this?
So put really simply, if you're moving really fast and your gravity is different, you will experience time differently.
And that happens even in really small amounts on missions like this.
I couldn't find the data for the Artemis astronauts specifically.
I'm sure that will come out, but we haven't got it yet.
But we do know that they will be slightly different.
