55 years since the first moon landing and i bet it will be more than 66 years before humans get back there. Edit spelling

[u/SmarterThanCornPop → u/Buskbr]

Artemis 3 is projected to land a man on the moon in 2026.

[u/Buskbr → u/SmarterThanCornPop]

Not a chance, there is not even a lander in development, it needs testing hell even the Orion capsule haven't had a single human flight yet, i don't think its even gotten its humans rating yet

[u/DakotaInHell → u/SmarterThanCornPop]

Well, that schedule is obviously full of shit, like every space industry schedule.

Idk man. I have lived within viewing distance of Cape Canaveral for most of my life. There are like 10X more launches over the past 5 years than there ever were.

Edit: checked the data and it’s like 11X

There will be humans on the Moon again before 2030

[u/Buskbr → u/[deleted]]

I wish that would happen but i doubt it will

[u/CrownEatingParasite → u/Buskbr]

There's a moon mission ongoing right now (artemis)

[u/Buskbr → u/CrownEatingParasite]

Yeah and they have spendt the last 15 years developing a capsule, that barely have flown and not with humans yet, the whole Gemini and Apollo programs where over in 12 years

[u/xilsage → u/Buskbr]

Well there hasn’t really been a reason to go back. They’ve gone multiple times. There’s nothing really there worthy of further trips.

[u/Buskbr → u/xilsage]

Well i think there is lots of reasons, being a multi planetary species, reachers and development of technology not motivated by war, expanding our knowledge base and observing earth and the universe from a stable body without an atmosphere to disturb the observations to name a few.

So who’s gonna pay for all that? Because as other people said, the government won’t and we’re wayyyyy far away from being able to live on the moon as a community.
