NASA Tour of the Moon

NASA has not conducted any in-person tours of the Moon, as the Moon is not currently inhabited, and human missions to the Moon have been limited to a few crewed Apollo missions in the late 1960s and early 1970s. However, NASA has been working on plans for future lunar exploration and has been actively involved in robotic missions to the Moon.

Here are some key points about NASA's lunar exploration efforts and missions up to that point:

Artemis Program: NASA has announced the Artemis program, with the goal of returning humans to the Moon by the mid-2020s. This program aims to land "the first woman and the next man" on the lunar surface. The Artemis program includes plans for a sustainable presence on the Moon and the establishment of the Gateway, a lunar orbiting platform.

Commercial Partnerships: NASA has been partnering with commercial space companies to develop lunar landers and other technology for lunar missions. These partnerships are expected to play a significant role in achieving the Artemis program's goals.

Lunar Gateway: The Lunar Gateway is a proposed space station that will orbit the Moon. It is intended to serve as a staging point for crewed missions to the lunar surface and beyond, including Mars.

Robotic Missions: NASA has also been conducting robotic missions to the Moon to explore and gather data. One of these missions is the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO), which has been orbiting the Moon since 2009, mapping the lunar surface and studying its environment.
