NASA’s Moon Delay Is Written Into Its Language
The words “a great chance” revealed what the Artemis schedule cannot guarantee
"
"A calendar cannot create readiness. A presentation cannot create working hardware. A rendering cannot demonstrate propellant transfer, .. speech cannot produce .. tanker fleet."

The Fading Echo of Lunar Footprints: Decades Without Return

Humans last walked on the Moon in 1972 during Apollo 17. Find out why we haven't been back in over 50 years.

It has been 53 years since humans last visited the Moon. This is much longer than the 4 years between the first and last Apollo missions.

Tomorrow morning, Australia will play a vital role in supporting #ArtemisII through the @canberradsn - the CDSCC (and as part of Australia's national science agency, CSIRO)

I spoke with folks at CDSCC, along with Associated Prof. Alice Gorman (Dr Space Junk), folks at NASA and more about this historical mission.

The CDSCC is not the only Aussie team that is working with the Artemis II mission - researchers from the Australian National University are also testing emerging technology that allows data to be transmitted via lasers, instead of radio waves at Mount Stromlo.

Importantly, Artemis II is going to set some new records that have not been attempted for 54 years.

And for the first time, the first woman, the first person of colour and the first non-American will travel to lunar space.

Godspeed, humans! Ad Astra!
