A Trip to the Moon
History, Artemis, and Humanity’s Space Junk
There is something almost innocent, at first glance, about Georges Méliès’s A Trip to the Moon. The painted sets, the theatrical gestures, the famous image of the capsule lodged in the eye of the moon — all of it feels whimsical, handmade, full of wonder. It bears the marks of ingenuity in their freshest form. Cinema is still young. Imagination is learning what machinery can do. Human beings are discovering that they can build not only devices, but dreams.
And yet, to watch the film closely is to feel a disturbance beneath the delight.
The voyage is not simply a journey. It is an invasion. The moon is not approached with humility or reverence, but penetrated, subdued, and turned into a stage for conquest. The lunar beings are encountered not as neighbors in wonder but as hostile “natives,” there to be struck, shattered, and overcome. The travelers return not merely with experience, but with a captive and a triumphal procession. What looks at first like fantasy reveals itself as a little parable of empire.
That is why the film still matters. It is not only an early science-fiction spectacle. It is an early warning.

54 years. Not one human being beyond low Earth orbit.
Then China lands on the far side of the Moon. Brings back samples. Plans a crewed landing by 2030.
Suddenly Artemis 2 becomes very urgent.
This mission isn’t about science. It’s about who gets to write the rules for the lunar south pole — and everything buried in it.New article 👇

🚀 Is this really about a billionaire engineering rivalry? Or is it really about the creation of the economic infrastructure that will determine who controls the Earth-Moon system for the next century. And let's be real. Artemis III likely to happen around 2030, lunar infrastructure in the mid-2030s, with a permanent presence 2040s. A LOT can happened between then and now.

Rocks from the far side of the #Moon landed in #Mongolia on Tuesday
The mission has significance for the #MoonRace between #China and the #UnitedStates
This was not China's first robotic mission to return a few pounds of dust and pebbles from the lunar surface—that came with the Chang'e 5 mission in December 2020. However, this was the first time any space program in the world returned material from the Moon's far side, and it looks like #Change6 mission succeeded.
