Revisit the Moon — From Apollo Triumphs to Upcoming Artemis

For one brief stretch in the early seventies, humans walked on another world—and then we just…stopped. No return trips for decades. In this episode, we dive into why we left the Moon, and why the next journeys back will be nothing like Apollo.

In earlier episodes, we focused on how to get off Earth and live in orbit; now we’re zooming back out to ask a bigger question: what do we actually *do* with a whole other world next door?

This time, the story isn’t a single flag, a few footsteps, and a quick ride home. Artemis is about turning short visits into a durable presence: orbital waystations, reusable landers, and crews who rotate through the lunar environment the way scientists rotate through remote field camps. The goal isn’t just “go back,” it’s “stay smart.”
