Am I the only one who's curious if the naming was related in any way to Andy Weir's book?!?

In Greek mythology, Artemis is a goddess of the moon and the twin sister of Apollo. It seems a rather obvious choice for a program determined to land the first woman on the moon.

The name predates Weir’s book and he even claims it’s a coincidence
