We definitely had people walking on the moon.

Yeah.

And I think, like I go back to, I think of Māori 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.

It's not going to be one of those domed kind of, you know, sort of cities that we see in movies and that kind of thing.

It'd be...

probably small little huts, and maybe they're talking about pressurised rovers, which would be like living in a camper van on the moon.

But all of this is in preparation for going to Mars.

So, yeah, if they need a newsreader.

I think you missed your call-out.

Well, I think some of the information and data that they've got from that trip, it's going to be coming out over the next year or so.
