So it's been more than 50 years, almost as long as that was drought against the storm.

All that technology though, Papa Mike, we should be going every week, shouldn't we?

Well, this is a good point.

It's really expensive.

And so the other thing with that is that at the time there was the Cold War.

So there was this absolute space race on for the US to beat Russia.

It was seen as a strategic advantage for all sorts of reasons.

But then it just got just too expensive.

So why are we doing now?

Artemis II, of course, has just safely got back to Earth over the weekend.

Been away for eight or nine days.

I think it left on April the 1st, came back on the 10th.

And I was just amazed seeing it.

You know, we had all that stuff last week where Trump was talking about, you know, kind of ending a civilisation.

I thought, great, here's my hot take.

We're going to see the end of the world through the lens of the crew with Artemis 2.

You know, it didn't happen, thank goodness.

But incredible photos, incredible imagery.

And I guess the question is, why are they doing it now, right?

So why spend all this money now?
