NASA likes playing games ... scientists stashed some 'Easter eggs' during its just-completed Artemis I moon mission -- embedded secret messages in the spacecraft with meanings behind them.
Finally, there's some binary code in there too -- shown in black and white blocks -- which translates to the number 18 ... signifying the next Apollo mission that they're hoping to pull off after Apollo 17.
Remember, the whole point of this thing is to get astronauts back to the moon by 2025 -- and with Artemis now done, we're one step closer to doing that.The last time humans set foot on our moon was 1972, so we're long overdue to get back up there. Artemis II is set for a 2024 launch, but it's feeling kinda '60s-ish all over again!!!
