The new US administration of President Joe Biden has confirmed that it is committed to continuing with the Artemis programme. Artemis is the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (Nasa's) new crewed space programme, intended to return men and take the first women to the Moon. Artemis was begun under the preceding administration of President Donald Trump. White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki gave that assurance in response to a reporter's question at a press conference on Thursday. However, she did not say if the Biden administration remained committed to achieving the first Artemis crewed landing on the Moon by 2024, which was the timeline under the Trump administration. Some in the US House of Representatives (both Democrats and Republicans) had previously suggested postponing it to 2028.
