Is this the reason we haven't gone back to the moon?

Reflecting on Lunar Exploration 56 Years Later It’s hard to believe it’s been 56 years since NASA first landed humans on the moon. Over that time, our understanding of space, technology, and materials has expanded dramatically—far exceeding what was achieved during the Apollo 11 mission. Yet, one can’t help but wonder: why haven’t we returned? […]

The Race to the Moon: A New Era of Competition There’s this unusual aspect of American culture: the idea that landing on the moon in 1969 didn’t just happen—it’s basically woven into our identity. That lunar landing is often seen as a defining moment in our national story and a powerful counterargument to any doubts […]

China could reach the moon before NASA, but it may not be significant.

China’s Moon Mission: A Competitive Landscape The tenth test of SpaceX’s Starship has commenced, and reports suggest it has been a significant success. But what implications does this success have for NASA and its commercial and global partners in their race against China to reach the moon first? Eric Berger from Ars Technica recently indicated […]

Opponents should not hinder NASA’s nuclear approach to establishing a moon base

Opponents should not hinder NASA's nuclear approach to establishing a moon base

NASA’s interim administrator Sean Duffy highlighted the U.S.’s commitment to creating a lunar base by introducing plans for a 100-kilowatt reactor scheduled for deployment every month until 2030. The decision to prioritize a nuclear reactor as the first component of the lunar base makes sense. Unlike solar power, nuclear energy isn’t reliant on sunlight, so […]

Host questions moon colonization, references Earth's colonial past

Discussion on Moon Colonization Plans During a recent segment on “CBS Mornings Plus,” host Vladimir Duthiers raised concerns about the Trump administration’s moon colonization plans, likening them to historical colonialism on Earth. He and co-host Adriana Diaz talked about the White House’s ambitions for more human space exploration, which includes constructing a nuclear reactor on […]
