So,

Given that in 2024 NASA will again be landing people on the moon - surely Omega will be doing something to commemorate this?

Any thoughts?
They are not part of it and omega and nasa ties seem to be not really official right now. Even the mars watch had no real NASA branding if I remembered.

More NASA, less Swatch, please.

The government responds to hunger and desire. Hopefully Omega will rekindle the flame.

Omega is still on the ISS. SpaceX has left the building but Boeing has yet to arrive. There is still much that isn't written, and Omega has a chance to be a part of the story. But do they want to be a part?

It will be a sad day when Omega plays the role of the commemorative plates, just another cheap memento of the new landings. Hopefully they will be a part of the mission, and not just standing on the sidelines applauding.

2024 humans on the Moon ?
👎 I don't think so, maybe in lunar orbit but certainly not on the lunar surface.
Meanwhile a reminder that a dozen Chinese female military pilots are in training for a female crew to the Moon.
Putting a woman on the Moon will be a premier, getting news headlines worldwide ...

Yep - pretty exciting. On.the.moon. 😀 Omega have to get on board hahaha


"...Artemis III will be the culmination of the rigorous testing and more than two million miles accumulated in space on NASA’s deep space transportation systems during Artemis I and II. Orion and its crew of four will once again travel to the Moon—this time to make history with the first woman and next man to walk on its surface. A rapid return to the Moon requires the agency to minimize the number of systems involved with landing humans on the surface by 2024,...."

Are you referring to the X-33 Marstimer? If so that one I think is branded with ESA at least....
