I don't know.

But apparently, China is looking into something similar.

So it looks like this is the reason for the season.

Why are we building this now?

Why are we rejiggering our plans?

Why are we trying to get a base on the moon?

Well, we're going to have to beat China now.

Which brings me to some questions.

If we were putting astronauts on the moon in the 60s and 70s, why did we stop?

And I'm not insinuating that putting humans on the moon is some easy task, but if we were able to do it back then, then we should be able to do it now.

Why would we have gotten rid of that technology or regressed in any way or not invested in it?

Of course,

The crafts, these newer crafts, have to be tested for safety.

We're not just gonna throw human beings up there.

But why has it been decades?

And why has nobody else, no other country, been able to put a human being on the moon?

Other countries have landed objects on the moon, but they haven't put human beings up there.

And the reasons for why this is, why we stopped going to the moon after 1972, these are the reasons that people give, primarily high costs.

decreased political motivation after winning the space race, and then lack of public interest.

I don't really buy those as reasons.
