"The European Space Agency (ESA) plans on sending a German astronaut to the moon as part of the "Artemis" mission. This was announced by the head of the European Space Agency (ESA), Josef Aschbacher, on the sidelines of the ESA Ministerial Council meeting in Bremen. "I have decided that the first Europeans to fly to the moon will be part of the Artemis program. We are looking for a German astronaut to join the crew," he said."
"While it's not known who would make it to the moon, two candidates could be considered, German ESA astronauts Alexander Gerst (49) and Matthias Maurer (55). It could still be years before the mission takes place, if at all. The US is looking to send astronauts back to the moon with the Artemis program with four US astronauts scheduled to orbit the moon in the first half of 2026. In 2027, Artemis 3 is expected to see astronauts land on the moon again."

The US plans Artemis flights with an orbital mission in early 2026 and Artemis 3 aiming for a 2027 landing. Turkish authorities confirmed a German-Turkish family visiting Istanbul died from insecticide poisoning. A survey found 54% of Germans believe the coalition government will not last until 2029, and a man received a life sentence for pouring petrol on his wife and setting her alight on a tram in Gera.
