Why Are We Trying To Go Back To The Moon?

The video discusses the reasons behind NASA's renewed interest in moon missions, focusing on the Artemis program. Unlike the Apollo missions driven by political motives, Artemis aims for scientific discovery, economic opportunities, and inspiration. The program is a stepping stone to Mars, with goals of establishing a long-term lunar presence and fostering a space economy. Despite criticism about costs and competition from private companies, NASA emphasizes the program's potential to inspire a diverse new generation, with plans to land the first woman and person of color on the moon by 2025. Public support for these missions remains strong.
