About
Human migration to space — beginning with the lunar surface — is said to arrive in the 2040s. That plan is the Artemis Program. ARTEMIS TOKYO is a curation magazine that follows the program every nation is now taking seriously, and the wider international conversation about future off-world life, edited through the eyes of a writer who lives in Tokyo.
OUR LINE
The Artemis Program — humanity's planned return to the Moon and, in time, its first crewed steps toward Mars — is no longer a slogan. NASA, ESA, JAXA, and a dozen private agencies are now timetabling the 2040s in real budget cycles, with real launch manifests. ARTEMIS TOKYO follows that work, and the wider international conversation it is shaping: who flies, on what terms, into what kind of off-world life.
OUR CITY
Most of the news driving the Artemis era is written outside Japan — in Houston, Toulouse, Bangalore, in California's industrial fringe. Tokyo's job, on this site, is to read those dispatches together: side-by-side, in two languages, with a sober editor's distance. Tokyo has always been a city that listens carefully to elsewhere before forming its own line. That habit is the editorial method here.
OUR METHOD
Every article begins with a real, dated dispatch from a credible international source — NASA, ESA, Space.com, arXiv, TechCrunch, SpaceNews, Ars Technica, The Verge, Dezeen, and others cited at the foot of each piece. Our editorial pipeline pulls these dispatches every morning at 06:00 JST, selects what matters for a Tokyo reader, and re-edits each in both languages. Every article closes with an ARTEMIS TOKYO 視点 block — our own first-person reading of the story against Japan's current realities. The original source is always linked.
