Not that anyone asked, Artemis, the moon goddess, is the twin of Apollo, the sun god, in Greek mythology. She’s also the goddess of hunting, maidens and interestingly, childbirth. Her Roman name is Diana.

What I find interesting is that it took them over 50 years to get the name of lunar mission right #space #greekMythology

@farah "Mercury" made sense, even tho that wasn't where they were going; it was the fastest and farthest anyone had traveled.

"Gemini" had two people in the capsule. OK, I can follow that.

I agree -- "Apollo" bothered me for decades.
