A Brit astronaut could walk on the moon in a matter of months and even tred on Mars in the next decade, NASA reportedly told the British Government.<\/p>\n

The Secretary of State told the Telegraph after her visit: "I asked NASA, in relation to the Artemis programme, what was the feasibility around the Artemis 3 mission, and they said it was incredibly possible.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

"We have one of the most innovative space sectors in the world, and we have some fantastic talents, homegrown. Look at Tim Peake.<\/p>\n

"The second Artemis mission will be going around the moon, and then the third one will go on the moon. So arguably the one to be in is the third one."<\/p>\n

Mail Online reported that Ms Donelan even suggested that UK astronauts should be involved in the first missions to Mars, slated for the next decade.<\/p>\n
