Why Did It Take 50 Years to Return to the Moon?

Summary

Today on Biriyani for Thought, we posed the question "Why did we stop going to the moon?". We began our conversation by discussing the 1960’s Apollo lunar missions, its associated costs and the succeeding political and public perspectives. We extended our discussion to current commercial and national projects from India, China and the USA, with a specific focus on the ongoing Artemis series of missions. In investigating these projects, we also tried to understand why we are returning to the moon after 50 years.
