After the success of comic book adaptations on the big screen and silver screen, comics started to become popular again. The interest in the national comics day held in the USA naturally increased. One of the institutions that evaluated this interest was NASA.
Publishing a digital, interactive comic for the first time in its history, NASA told the story of Callie Rodriguez, the first woman to work on the Moon’s surface in this comic. NASA states that although Rodriguez is a fictional character, the story reflects his own views.

Constructed as the first woman and first minority person to land on the moon, Callie joins NASA’s Artemis mission, a real mission. Throughout the comic, NASA strives to rekindle the passions of a new generation of space explorers. The name given to this generation by the institution is Artemis Generation.

NASA administrator Pam Melroy said in a statement about the comic that Callie’s story tells about the institution’s own passion, dedication and determination, so they can make their dreams come true.
In the 40-page comic, NASA also has the opportunity to explain the technologies it has developed for space travel, landing, take-off and Moon exploration. Thanks to augmented reality, readers can interact with the elements in the comics. Those who download the comic on Android or iOS can also view 3D versions of various vehicles and equipment. Additional content includes videos, games, challenges, and a variety of activities that allow you to participate virtually in NASA missions.
