Superman II viewers spot eerie Artemis moon programme reference

Original: Watching Superman II (1980) and (spoilers) in it there's a moon landing programme called Artemis! I know Artemis logical

A viewer rewatching Superman II (1980) noticed the film's fictional moon landing programme is named Artemis, the same name NASA now uses for its real return-to-the-Moon missions. Sharing the observation online, they noted that while Artemis logically follows Apollo in mythology, hearing the name spoken in a 45-year-old film still feels eerie. Others are enjoying the coincidence of science fiction anticipating current space policy.

Why now: NASA's ongoing Artemis missions have people noticing the name was used in decades-old fiction.
