NASA’s Artemis II mission took decades of policymaking, engineering and financial support.
Worries were raised when the heat shield from a previous mission came back damaged.
It’s about more than just beating China. As a space lawyer puts it, a Moon base would come with strategic, economic and scientific advantages.
Space is extremely dangerous, but people can still do more than robotic explorers can – in terms of technical achievements and inspiring public interest.
Scott Pace, the head of the National Space Council during the first Trump administration, talks to The Conversation Weekly podcast about the launch of Artemis II crewed mission round the Moon.
Artemis II will test the life control systems on the Orion spacecraft and, if all goes well, take a trip around the Moon.
Changes to Nasa’s Moon exploration programme may include a base on the lunar surface.
Artemis II has been plagued by similar issues to those faced by its predecessor, leading NASA to shake up its plan to return humans to the Moon.
