But the whole point of this is to prepare another another, I believe, opinions may vary, land mission and onto the moon.
Because what President Trump has said, what NASA has said is that we're going to go back to the moon and we're not going to leave this time.
We're not just going to go and take science experiments, take photos.
There were six manned missions to the moon.
By the end of it, they were playing golf.
They were driving little dune buggies around the moon.
I don't know, they ran out of things to do and then we stopped going.
12 astronauts have landed on the moon already.
This will be a little more politically significant because the United States, just as we were in a space race with the Soviet Union back in the 20th century, now we're in another space race with China.
And so we want to claim the territory on the moon because even though the moon is pretty big,
The territory that you would actually want to establish a base on is relatively small.
And so what NASA wants to do is not just have these launches occur every few years.
They want Artemis launches every 10 months.
And they want to send people to the moon.
They want to have people staying on the moon just as people will stay 100 days, 200 days, 300 days in the International Space Station.
