Yes.

We wish we knew.

China's been talking about this collaboration with Russia.

It's an international moon base.

We've seen maybe a couple of paintings of it.

It's hard to tell what they have planned.

The U.S., until a couple of months ago, really hadn't talked about anything about how they're going to build a moon base.

Now they have pretty pictures as well.

But even Jared Isaacman says initially it's going to look more like a junkyard rather than this nice settlement because it's going to be these rovers, these little other landers.

And then further down, once they've learned some things, then they'll start coming up with a more coherent design.

I got dumped on the NASA beat back in 2009.

And that was when President Obama had just entered the White House.

And his first year, he had appointed a commission to review the Constellation Program, which was the last time NASA tried to return the moon.

And that was basically a long, extended effort to cancel that.

And so my experience covering NASA is mostly not going anywhere.

And so it's exciting that they actually got Artemis off the ground around the moon and back.

So it's gotten further than anything in terms of going somewhere beyond low Earth orbit since 1972.

How far it will go beyond that is hard to tell because if you looked at the comments in a lot of my stories—

People are really excited about Artemis.

The other half were saying we should be spending more money on health care.
