Crew-10 Mission to Bring Back Stranded Astronauts

James Gentile, who initially aimed to be a U.S. Air Force pilot, shifted his career to aerospace engineering after a Type 1 diabetes diagnosis and is now a key figure at NASA's Johnson Space Center, leading simulation projects for the Artemis lunar missions. Astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore, previously on a prolonged ISS mission due to technical issues with the Starliner spacecraft, are set to return on a SpaceX Dragon capsule as part of the Crew-10 mission. The Artemis program continues with its latest mission, Artemis II, which aims to use the moon as a stepping stone for Mars exploration with a crewed mission around the moon planned for 2026. Despite industry layoffs, NASA remains committed to advancing these lunar explorations, showcasing the Orion spacecraft and its rocket components at Kennedy Space Center.
