With Artemis, NASA is going back to the Moon—and they want young people to come along! You Are Going, illustrated by former NASA intern Shane Tolentino, shares a glimpse into future Artemis missions.
In this story, NASA invites children—members of the Artemis Generation—to feel connected to each Artemis mission and discover all the exciting possibilities of going to space. Children learn about the elements that help make Artemis possible: the powerful Space Launch System rocket, the Orion spacecraft, the Gateway, and so much more.
NASA’s website includes a digital version of the story narrated by astronauts Victor Glover, Mike Hopkins, Shannon Walker, and Soichi Noguchi. And teachers can download PDFs of the story in multiple languages, as well as a free Comprehension Guide with discussion questions, a writing extension exercise, and an art extension exercise. Children will also enjoy the Coloring Book about Artemis illustrated by Shane Tolentino. It too is a freely downloadable PDF.
