NASA’s Artemis II mission — the first crewed flight around the Moon in more than 50 years — is slated to launch in early March, marking a historic step in humanity’s return to deep space. STEM Next is hosting a special career chat to celebrate the launch and inspire young people to explore career pathways that make Artemis II and other space missions possible. Youth will hear from panelists including NASA’s George Gorospe and Lockheed Martin Corporation’s systems engineer Chelsea Partridge on how they turned their interests into fascinating careers, what it takes to support missions like Artemis II, and the many paths that can lead to a future connected to space.

Young people will have the chance to ask questions live, learn about real career pathways with practical advice, and explore how their skills and passions today could connect to the next generation of missions beyond Earth.
