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.

After earlier announcing the moon-orbiting "Lunar Gateway" space station program was being "paused" to focus on missions to the moon's surface, NASA's Administrator Jared Isaacman has revealed there is corrosion in both the HALO [Habitation and Logistics Outpost] and I-HAB modules of the Gateway.

If you're a bit of a space geek, or "of an age" where you remember the early Apollo flights, this might be of interest.
A creator put together an "ambience" video that is just the spacecraft and flight directors' NASA control room chatter from the undocking of the Apollo 11 lunar lander from the command module to the first step on the moon. No music.
It had me holding my breath from the "Go for landing" to the touchdown. I mean, I know the ending, but it still grabbed me by the ear holes.
Interestingly, the Apollo 11 mission patch, designed by Collins, is one of only two to NOT include the names of the astronauts; the idea was that the patch represented the thousands of people involved with the mission, not just the astronauts, and emphasised the mission's theme of "For all mankind".
Apollo 13 was the other nameless patch, and Lovell had a concept in mind: "Ex Luna, Scientia" emphasising the knowledge gained.

Apollo Was Real. Artemis Is Real. The Future Does Not Belong to Small Thinkers
By Cliff Potts, CSO, and Editor-in-Chief of WPS News
Baybay City, Leyte, Philippines — April 11, 2026
As of early April 2026, NASA’s Artemis II mission is in flight around the Moon, carrying four astronauts aboard Orion in the first crewed Artemis mission of the program. NASA has described the mission as a deep-space systems test and lunar flyby meant to validate spacecraft operations, crew procedures, navigation, communications, and recovery before later missions go further.
That matters because the United States is not talking about lunar exploration in theory anymore. It is doing it. Artemis is not a museum exhibit, a press release, or a nostalgia act. It is a live human spaceflight program, operating now, in public view, under continuous coverage, with hardware, crew, mission control, and a very large documentary trail.
NASA also updated the program’s architecture in February 2026. Under that revised plan, Artemis III is now scheduled for 2027 as a mission in low Earth orbit to test integrated systems and operations before Artemis IV attempts a lunar landing in 2028. That update disappointed people who wanted a faster return to the surface, but it also made clear that NASA is trying to build a repeatable exploration system rather than gamble everything on one dramatic shot.
That is the present. The past is not mysterious either.
The Apollo moon landings happened. This is not a matter of taste, internet style, political identity, or vibes. It is a matter of evidence. NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter has imaged the Apollo landing sites from lunar orbit. Those images show the descent stages, equipment left on the surface, and in several cases the paths astronauts and rovers took across the ground. NASA and the LROC team have published those images for years.
The Apollo missions also left retroreflectors on the Moon. Those devices are still used in lunar laser ranging experiments, and their continued operation has been discussed by NASA, ESA-related technical material, and other scientific sources for decades. A fake landing does not leave functioning hardware on the Moon that researchers continue to use.
Then there are the samples. Across the six Apollo landing missions, astronauts returned about 382 kilograms of lunar rocks and soil. Those samples have been curated, cataloged, reanalyzed, and in some cases left sealed for future generations and newer instruments. NASA was still publishing new science from Apollo samples in 2025, more than half a century after the missions flew. A fraud does not keep producing usable geology for fifty years.
There is also the basic mission record. Apollo flight plans, mission reports, tracking systems, engineering documents, photography, television broadcasts, recovery operations, hardware, and astronaut testimony exist in enormous volume. This is not one grainy clip and a government promise. It is one of the most documented technical enterprises in modern history.
So the moon-hoax claim does not fail because it is offensive. It fails because it is weak. It asks people to ignore hardware on the Moon, physical samples on Earth, orbital imagery, telemetry, mission documentation, and half a century of follow-on science in order to preserve a story that flatters distrust. That is not skepticism. That is evidence refusal.
And that brings the argument back to Artemis.
Spaceflight has always had critics who say Earth has too many problems for people to look outward. That sounds practical until you notice that many of the same people have no serious plan to solve the problems here either. They do not want an ambitious Earth and they do not want an ambitious human future. They want retreat dressed up as wisdom. That is not realism. It is a failure of imagination.
Most people live close to where they started. Many never look much farther than their own routines, their own block, their own local resentments, and their own comfort zone. There is nothing noble about shrinking the human horizon to fit the most limited people in the room. Civilizations do not advance because the timid finally get enthusiastic. They advance because somebody ignores them and keeps building anyway.
Apollo proved that human beings could reach the Moon. Artemis is proving that we have decided to reach outward again. The lesson is not that Earth does not matter. The lesson is that a species capable of going off-world should not hand its future over to small minds, stale cynicism, and people who confuse their own lack of curiosity with maturity.
Do not let people who would never cross their own horizon tell humanity not to cross its next one. If they say the grass is greener on their side of the fence, chances are they are not going to take care of that grass either. We are allowed to solve problems here and still build beyond here. In fact, any civilization worth a damn should do both.

My life is roughly the era of #HumanSpaceFlight. Yuri Gagarin flew about 2 years before my birth. The first human #moonLanding was when I was 6. Now #ArtmeisII is doing the first human lunar flyby in over 50 years.
I wish they'd just stop. Go home to earth!
Human space flight has appalled me since before my teens, when I wzs first pushed to form a view. The species that wrecks earth should stay home and fix its own planet. The vast costs of space travel are a disgrace.
Stop it. Go Home!

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!

I'll *never* forget how we watched the first #moonLanding live in 1969. It was a "wonder" how they arrived with these Star-Trek-like clickediclick buttons and primitive computers.
In 2026, the announcements leave me completely cold. A fascist state is showing off, and an a-hole who litters #space and poisons the atmosphere has a hand in it. And then, despite all the technology available today, they can’t even manage a landing. For me: a story of #knowledge loss.
