NASA scientists hope to bring Americans back to the moon through its Artemis project, a three-part mission that builds on Apollo 17βs findings with more sustainable technology. The first uncrewed launch could happen as soon as August.

NASA needs to stop trying, bunch of quitters. They aint got shiz on space Xs falcon
Inches? I doubt that
You can't go to the moon without being burned alive by the Sun
Also, all of the collaborating countries are hoping to put humans on the moon.

So weird that we can't get back to the moon after six flawless landings. I don't seenit happening again for at least a decade.
It's going too smoothly, somebody rushed something critical for sure.
The trouble with Artemis is that it has not caught the public imagination that Apollo once did and many Americans may not even know that a crewed return to the Moon is being planned. As a comment has said, it is more about companies and contractors getting rich in as many states as possible and less about actual science and exploration. Also the sheer cost makes it very hard to justify, given all that is going on and the endless problems the world faces, problems that are getting worse not just every year, month or week, but every day. That is why I doubt people will land on the Moon again, certainly not in the foreseeable future. A huge amount of money has and is being spent on it and it is likely that we shall not even see one landing to show for it.
Of course, if the goal is pure science, then it is better done using robotic probes rather than sending people. Of course, people can do things, at least in most cases better than robots, but the sheer cost and risk outweigh those advantages.
If people return to the Moon, then it will be the Chinese, not the Americans, who will do it.
We never went in the first place.

Showing the wrong pic of the Saturn V is a Four Seasons level of incompetence. I hate to even suggest trump was ever right about anything but this is why the "fake news" description is somewhat accurate.
3:10 the cost comparison between Saturn V and SLS is not apples to apples here
The 1.5 billion Saturn V estimate is the marginal cost of each flight unit off the production line, and is ONLY the actual Saturn V launch vehicle (S-IC,S-II,S-IVB stages)
The SLS estimate includes all the annual program costs asosciated with the SLS rocket, it's Orion spacecraft payload and the cost of all the launch preparations.
A similar cost estimate to what was shown for Saturn V would be 800-900 million per SLS rocket off the production line, vs 1.5 billion for Saturn V.
3:30 SLS is not a redundant option to anything, it's the only option for the job it's supposed to perform, Starship or no Starship.
It is not just a short term measure to wait for Starship as implied in the video, NASA intends to continue using it for the long term
50+ years ago we were able to go to the moon and today we do not have rocket that is ready to go back to the moon? Is this a lie that will just keep getting bigger and bigger until a distraction is made up?
Nice SV π€¨
They're getting ready to hoax it again!
NASA after James Webb is a Zombie/Wakanda NASA, not the real thing. They will repeat the whole space program from the 1960s just with racially pc astronauts, just to demonstrate the black supremacy. Wakanda forever NASA – you can do it!
So we finally figured out how to go threw the Van Allen radiation belts thank god I was starting to wonder. I can not wait to tell everyone
I mean we were there in 1969 with some duct tape, aluminum foil, glass, stainless steel, Nickle which would melt.
he lost me after first woman and person of color on the moon. Like why is that even a big deal in the grand scheme of it all. This isnt the woke race is it?
Do you realize why they're sending it unmanned? It's because we've never been there. It's all been a hoax. Otherwise the moon would already be colonized, and there would be fighting over the land.
The more the world is sending spacecrafts to the moon now the more reports of strange UFO sightings on and in orbit on the moon we will hear about. During Apollo NASA kept all that a government secret…but with multiple nations with moon fever and cameras everywhere up there we should get quite a show πΏπΏπΏ
