The Value of the Moon

NASA’s Artemis Program is focused on returning American astronauts to the Moon by 2024, through the use of the Space Launch System rocket, the Orion spacecraft, the Gateway lunar outpost and a new lunar lander, and to do so in a sustainable way—that is, to go to the Moon to stay, to learn how to support astronauts in that environment, and in the process get ourselves ready to go on from there to Mars. As a part of that mission we mean to make the best use of the natural resources on the Moon, and that’s very different from what the Apollo program set out to do fifty years ago. It also prompts an echo of President Kennedy’s question —why the Moon?
