  • The twin sister of Apollo which is the Artemis signifies the goddess of the Moon in Greek mythology. It personifies the path to the Moon to return astronauts to the lunar surface by 2024, including the first woman and the next man. When they are going to land, the American astronauts will step foot where no human has ever been before which is the Moon’s the South Pole.
