At one point in time, space travel was a battle for superiority between the Americans and Soviets, but since the moon landing in 1964, it\u2019s become something more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the 2010s and 2020s, private space companies have inspired NASA to return to its glory years with a larger-than-life, out-of-this world goal: to become multiplanetary. And this all starts with the moon\u2026again.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Ultimate Goal<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If we already went to the moon, then why are we doing it again? Been there, done that, right? After the Apollo missions, the world changed, and space exploration became far less of a priority compared to the space race of the 60\u2019s and early 70\u2019s.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other priorities surfaced, and projects like space shuttles to document other planets, rovers, and satellites became projects that took precedence over human space travel and moon landings. Now, there\u2019s a fire under NASA\u2019s butt and it isn\u2019t due to jet fuel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk took space exploration private in recent years to reinvigorate the possibilities around space travel and explore the idea of having future settlements on other planets.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even though those larger than life goals are a bit out there, NASA\u2019s current Artemis work, as illustrated on the Artemis space program flag, has the primary goal of exploring more of the moon and documenting scientific discoveries. It\u2019s very early on in the grand scheme of the mission plans, with NASA currently working on the second mission in the 10-part proposed series.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Flawless Design<\/span><\/h2>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gettysburgflag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Artemis-300x204.jpg\" \/><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each part of the Artemis space program flag has a purpose and meaning. The blue semicircle at the bottom of the logo represents the Earth, and the light gray triangle represents the Artemis rocketship itself. The red path curving from the earth and through the triangle represents the rocket\u2019s long journey to the moon, which is symbolized by the darker gray circle behind the rocket. The red line also cuts through the rocket symbol to make a stylized letter \u2018A,\u2019 for Artemis.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Altogether, the logo paints a clear picture of what these missions are all about. We are going back to the moon, and this time, we are going to do a lot more than plant flags and jump a<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">round. So far, the Artemis 1 has been completed and successfully orbited the moon in an unmanned mission, bringing us one step closer to making that dream a reality.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At Gettysburg Flag Works, we have been given permission to create and distribute the Artemis space program flag, and we couldn&#8217;t be more excited.
