I don't know how many bloody videos I sat through last week.
See, we didn't actually go back.
There's something like 800 kilos of moon rock
in the world at the moment, which we've been studying for the last 50 years.
There's still infrastructure, still landing areas.
You can see visibly in the moon now where we landed.
We landed.
We definitely had people walking on the moon.
And I think, like I go back to, I think of MΔori and Pasifika, our ancestors who travelled the oceans and had no idea, only navigated by the stars, but definitely into the unknown.
And it's that spirit of adventure, that pioneering spirit, which I love.
I just think the courage there.
The courage to get on one of those things for a start and go, okay.
Honestly, terrifying.
Well, that's the thing with what they're doing with the moon.
The reason they're going to the moon now is they're going to be setting up a base in the South Pole.
So that's the most likely place they'll find ice and water.
So that means they can split that off and they've got oxygen for being able to live and breathe.
And then they've got hydrogen for powering it.
So they could power their own base on the moon, which would be incredible.
