What a great name for the next moon landing carrying Americans to the moon and back. We've been too long away from bold new manned exploration of our nearest neighbor in space.

Artemis is the next book by the bloke who wrote "The Martian".

Very cool name.

I seem to remember the name being used by someone/something else.... can't recall who/where.....

Was there an Artemis Gorden someplace?

Got curious, and it turns out you're right, TB. Artemis Gordon was a character in the feature film adaptation of the Wild Wild West series. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wild_Wild_West

No, that was the similar name Aramis. But hey, close.
