ALT An artist’s illustration shows an astronaut conducting an extravehicular activity on the lunar surface. In the background, a second astronaut collects lunar samples. Small craters are visible around the surface. A habitat is visible on the righthand side with Earth rising above. Commissioned by NASA in the late ‘80s. Artist: Garret Moore. Credit: NASA
ALT An artist’s illustration from 1986 shows astronauts working on the Moon. On the lefthand side, a rover with six wheels is visible. A communications satellite sits atop. In the left corner, Earth is visible. Two astronauts stand beside the rover to the right. In the far background, elements of lunar habitats can be seen. Artist: Dennis M. Davidson. Credit: NASA
ALT An artist’s illustration from 1969 shows two lunar habitats. One is a raised vertical structure, slightly behind another dome structure. The habitats appear connected by a tubing ventilation system. Astronauts are walking outside the habitats in spacesuits. Artist: Roy G. Scarfo. Credit: NASA
ALT An artist’s illustration commissioned by Ames Research Center in 1978. On the lefthand side, an astronaut in a spacesuit stands with an arm slightly raised. To the right, an elevated habitat is visible. Stars can be seen in the background, with Earth visible. Artist: Rick Guidice. Credit: NASA

ALT Two employees in hard hats look up as a crane lifts the 212-foot core stage of the Artemis III rocket vertically into the transfer aisle of the VAB. Dominating the center of the image are four rocket engines on the bottom of the core stage. They are covered in red caps. Credit: NASA/Sean Cannon
ALT The bottom half of the orange core stage of the Artemis III rocket is suspended vertically in High Bay 3 of the VAB as a crane moves it into place above the mobile launcher. Several levels of observation platforms are visible behind the core stage and one of the solid rocket boosters is seen below. Credit: NASA/Sean Cannon

ALT A photo of ESA (European Space Agency) astronaut Sophie Adenot tethered to the International Space Station during a spacewalk. She is wearing a white spacesuit used for spacewalks, and it matches the surrounding space station hardware in appearance. Earth's horizon is visible in the background of the scene.
