Many years ago when the Artemis program was just started, I created a realistic Lunar build experience called "Moonbase Shackleton" in Minecraft.
As we have a lot of exciting Artemis news currently, I thought I'd share my short trailer for it. You can view it here: youtu.be/y7vM-KAWMu4

Hurray, the "allow trusted skins" toggle is back in Minecraft Education v1.21.90.1!
Having this option back in the game allows students to showcase their talents, and create skins that represent themselves and ideas!
Thank-you Minecraft Education for listening to our feedback!

Moonbase Shackleton is one of my earliest Minecraft Education build projects. I'm still very pleased with the results, and I frequently update it.
In the near future, it will feature pilotable lunar hoppers and drivable lunar rovers!
Anyway, I hope you enjoy the video: youtu.be/y7vM-KAWMu4
