Jordan Garcia

Jordan Garcia is a news reporter who has covered various space-related events and missions for NASA. Their work primarily focuses on the Artemis I mission, which marked a significant milestone in space exploration. The mission involved the launch of NASA's Orion spacecraft atop the SLS (Space Launch System) rocket from historic Launch Pad 39B at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Over a period of 25.5 days, Orion performed two lunar flybys and came within 80 miles of the lunar surface. The spacecraft traveled nearly 270,000 miles from Earth at its farthest distance. On December 11, 2022, Orion successfully completed a parachute-assisted splashdown in the Pacific Ocean. The Artemis I mission set new records for performance and safety baselines for humans in deep space, paving the way for future missions like Artemis II and eventually exploring Mars and other destinations throughout the solar system.
