An image of the Mars Perseverance rover released by NASA on February 24, 2021, has been altered and shared in online posts saying a fly was spotted on the vehicle and suggesting that NASA is faking Mars exploration with videos shot on a Canadian Arctic island instead.

With humans slated to return to the moon this decade, NASA has been testing new lunar vehicles in simulated low gravity.

Through NASA's Artemis campaign, astronauts will land on the lunar surface and use a new generation of spacesuits and rovers as they live, work, and conduct science in the moon's south pole region, exploring more of the lunar surface than ever before.
