Back to the Moon - Part 2 | VOANews

After the Apollo program ended, the US took a hiatus from lunar exploration. What happened during this time, and what has NASA been doing? This documentary by the Voice of America's Russian service focuses on the details of the NASA's Artemis program and plans to further explore the Moon and Mars.

😮Cosa serve tanto dispendio di energie mentali, economiche, lavorative con basso tasso di riutilizzo e ritardi veramente incolmabili ovvero astronauti rimasti bloccati sulla ISS dopo anni di ritardi realizzativi e troppi progetti intersecantisi...? L'esplorazione e lo sfruttamento delle risorse extra atmosferiche possono essere realizzate principalmente con sistemi automatici e robotici, molto più efficienti. La componente umana è fondamentale, ma non insostituibile e, comunque, molto arduo e costoso da portare nello spazio!

[@davidcruz1941]

All because Congress was more worried about job security, rather than speed. And recently Boeing quality control was found to be low and would cause more delays. Starship will probably replace the full Artemis program in time

[@user-ri9hb6th1w]

I really really hope they aren't gonna take more than 10 years to get this first crew back on the moon when we did it for the first time in less than a decade and then to top it off they were flying missions very quickly to the moon and back . Like Nike says ......JUST DO IT !

They used the apollo crew capsule with the ablative heat shield they got the crews back save everytime , so why not take the components that worked well from apollo and use whatever worked good , then obviously we have way better computers so yeah, definitely use all that, if it ain't broke don't fix it , even the escape tower for the crew is the same as apollo.

[@robertyoung9589]

NASA claims they landed men on the moon over 53 years ago and now they tell us that they are attempting to develop a plan to land men on the moon soon. That says it all. I don't think we have gone backwards in technology. My amateur radios are so far advanced now than the ones I owned 50 years ago. Something isn't right here.

[@yassassin6425]

It has not been possible to fly on a passenger aircraft between London and New York in under three hours for 22 years. I don't think we have gone backwards in technology. Man last walked on the moon 52 years ago (not 53) and Project Artemis has completely different technology, mission objectives and profiles to Apollo. All this needs development, testing and validation. The USA stopped going to the moon because in the midst of an expensive foreign war, growing public apathy and disquiet, a lack of political will and the looming OPEC crisis, Congress withdrew the funding in 1972. They saw little benefit in continuing to plough such a high percentage of the annual federal budget into continuation of something that had already been achieved. The Apollo Programme was cancelled meaning that the manufacturing plants, the processes, the bespoke tooling, the expertise was either retired or moved on, whilst production of the heavy lift capability ceased and no one build a replacement for the Saturn V. Powerful lobbying for the folly of the Space Shuttle Programme shifted the emphasis upon low Earth orbit and the subsequent construction of the ISS meant that space exploration became the preserve of much cheaper unmanned probes and landers that did not require a heavy lift rocket. The old technology of Apollo has become obsolete and defunct. We now have the SLS and Space X are developing Starship/Super Heavy Booster and new technologies are being applied, purposed and developed to return crewed missions to the moon and beyond, whilst also. like I said, fulfilling very different objectives and mission profiles to those of Apollo. Project Artemis was only approved as recently as 2018 and this takes time and money.

Goods news to humanity! There exists multiple caves and craters on Lunar surface, containing minerals and liquid water/ ice sheets. Now humanity to take shelter in it and establish a permanent base on Lunar surface within next decade. These caves and big craters could be used as shelters initially, to protect from gravities, radiations and temperature fluctuations there on lunar surface.

@@ApolloKid1961 Yeah, people don't realize how the practical side of life affects when and why we go or don't go to the moon again. We don't have an endless supply of money and we need really good reason to go there since we've been there 6 times already due to the enormous cost of doing it.

[@ApolloKid1961]

@@johnshaw359 Which astronaut said this? The technology was not destroyed but there were 20,000 companies involved in building the Saturn 5. Many of them no longer exist or have gone on to do other things. And that also applies to the people who worked there. Big companies like North American Aviation, Douglas Aircraft Company both now part of Boeing, IBM, Motorola, MIT University and NASA itself still have all the blueprints. But I think it is not smart to use 60 year old technology even though it has proven to work.
