    Is the US trying to get back to the moon again? If so, why?

    I’m more entertained by China absolutely spanking the US on EV and hybrid EV cars.

      There was a NASA program to go to the moon called Artemis, which was continually pushing back it’s date under Biden, and is now pretty much dead under Trump 2

        I have no doubt that China will get people to the moon, but stay there? Long term habitation on the moon is an unsolved problem even conceptually, let alone the part where you actually have to build it

          What’s unsolved about the concept? It doesn’t have to be self sustaining, and most of it is just engineering challenges that can be solved by throwing money at it.
