While Apollo placed the first steps on the Moon, Artemis opens the door for humanity to sustainably work and live on another world for the first time. Using the lunar surface as a proving ground for living on Mars, this next chapter in exploration will forever establish our presence in the stars. We are returning to the Moon – to stay – and this is how we are going! Actress Kelly Marie Tran of “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker” lent her voice to this project.

The Scottish Highlands are a rugged and mountainous region located in the northern part of Scotland. The area is known for its natural beauty, with rolling hills, glens (narrow valleys), lochs (lakes), and peaks, many over 3,000 feet high. It is also home to Scotland's highest mountain, Ben Nevis, which stands at over 4,400 feet. The Highlands are rich in history and culture, with ancient castles, standing stones, and ruins scattered throughout the region. Many Highland communities still maintain their traditional way of life, including their own dialects and customs, which are distinct from the rest of Scotland. The area is also popular for outdoor activities such as hiking, camping, fishing, and skiing. The Highlands are home to many national parks, including the Cairngorms National Park, which is known for its beautiful scenery and wildlife, including red deer, golden eagles, and ospreys. The region is also famous for its whisky, with many distilleries located in the Highlands, producing some of Scotland's finest single malt whiskies.

Original color version of the 1955 atom bomb test in Nevada, showing the effects on test houses and utilities located at various distances from the blast. Operation Cue was one of a myriad of smaller tests conducted under the auspices of the Atomic Energy Commission's (AEC) developmental program, Operation Teapot.

The Apollo 13 accident occurred on April 13, 1970, during the Apollo 13 mission, the third manned mission to land on the Moon. The mission was launched with a crew of three astronauts: James A. Lovell, John L. Swigert, and Fred W. Haise. About 56 hours into the mission, an explosion occurred in one of the oxygen tanks in the service module, which damaged the module and caused a loss of power and oxygen. The astronauts were forced to move into the lunar module, which was only designed to sustain two people for a brief period. The crew and mission control had to work together to improvise a solution that would bring the astronauts safely back to Earth. The astronauts used the lunar module as a "lifeboat" and jettisoned the damaged service module. They then performed a series of engine burns to put themselves on a trajectory back to Earth. Despite numerous challenges and limited resources, the crew was able to successfully return to Earth, splashing down in the Pacific Ocean on April 17, 1970. The Apollo 13 accident is widely regarded as one of the most remarkable events in the history of space exploration, and a testament to the ingenuity, teamwork, and bravery of the astronauts and mission control.

Created by the Federal Civil Defense Administration in 1955 and then revised in 1964, "Operation Cue" is one of the most famous films to emerge from the atomic era. Perhaps this is because of the film's disturbing subject and odd pairing of domestic life -- here shown in a "typical American house" stocked with typical foods and appliances and mannequins dressed like Mom, Dad, Sister and Brother -- with an atomic explosion. The blast shown was the Civil Defense Apple-2 shot on 5 May 1955. It was intended to test various building construction types in a nuclear blast. An assortment of buildings, including residential houses and electrical substations, were constructed at the site nicknamed "Survival Town". The buildings were populated with mannequins, and stocked with different types of canned and packaged foods. Not all of the buildings were destroyed in the blast, and some of them still stand at Area 1, Nevada Test Site. By 1964, with the arrival of the Hydrogen bomb, it was clear that the 1955 film understated the severity of the effects of the bomb. A hydrogen bomb would be 250 times more powerful than the bomb observed -- and hardly survivable except from a great distance from Ground Zero. Thus the film was revised and a new disclaimer added at the start.

The Hindenburg disaster was an airship accident that occurred on May 6, 1937, in Manchester Township, New Jersey, United States. The German passenger airship LZ 129 Hindenburg (Luftschiff Zeppelin #129; Registration: D-LZ 129) was a German commercial passenger-carrying rigid airship, the lead ship of the Hindenburg class, the longest class of flying machine and the largest airship by envelope volume. It was designed and built by the Zeppelin Company (Luftschiffbau Zeppelin GmbH) and was operated by the German Zeppelin Airline Company (Deutsche Zeppelin-Reederei). It was named after Field Marshal Paul von Hindenburg, who was President of Germany from 1925 until his death in 1934. It caught fire and was destroyed during its attempt to dock with its mooring mast at Naval Air Station Lakehurst. The accident caused 35 fatalities (13 passengers and 22 crewmen) from the 97 people on board (36 passengers and 61 crewmen), and an additional fatality on the ground. The disaster was the subject of newsreel coverage, photographs and Herbert Morrison's recorded radio eyewitness reports from the landing field, which were broadcast the next day. A variety of theories have been put forward for both the cause of ignition and the initial fuel for the ensuing fire. The publicity shattered public confidence in the giant, passenger-carrying rigid airship and marked the abrupt end of the airship era.
