NASA’s approach to returning to the moon: Better safe than sorry

Recently, NASA announced what many people dreaded but also expected.

Artemis II, the crewed mission to circumnavigate the moon, will be delayed from the end of 2024 to September 2025. Artemis III, the first crewed moon landing in over 50 years, will be delayed from the end of 2025 to September 2026. Artemis IV, which will use an upgraded version of the Space Launch System, is scheduled to fly in September 2028.

The US should secure strategic positions between the Earth and the Moon before China

Recently, the House Select Committee on the Strategic Competition Between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party issued the report: “Reset, Prevent, Build: A Strategy to Win America’s Competition with the Chinese Communist Party.”
