After a revised budget proposal from the Whitehouse added another $1.6billion mostly to pay to stop more SLS delays NASA announced that their plan to return to the Moon in 5 years would be named 'Artemis'. Which is of course the best name for any lunar program, so good in fact that NASA aren't the first people to use the name of this goddess for a space program. So let's have a quick tour of other projects with the same name. Realistically, the budget may not happen, for obvious political reasons, but I hope the name stays. | Will $1.6billion Let NASA's New Artemis Program Become Reality? | Scott Manley | YouTube | Published on Tuesday, May 14, 2019

I really think we should’ve continued to aim for Mars rather than the moon. Seems halfhearted to me. Stupid PR stunts like mandating gender of the astronauts in this program also seem silly.

Why?

Name two good reasons we should go back to the Moon or even go to Mars?

I would think we have learned enough about he ill effects of weightlessness and other than that exposure to radiation, to know that without some means of mitigating both of these the trip is without merit.

Are the chicoms going to colonize the Moon or Mars? How about India? Russia?

Hey gang! I’ve got an idea! Let’s cut $200 billion from social services and foreign aid and go to Mars! How about it, are you on board?
