Artemis Two: First the Moon, Then Mars
First the Moon, then Mars. NASA is about to launch Artemis two, the first crewed mission around the Moon in over fifty years. But behind the historic achievement lie a problematic heat shield, ninety three billion dollars spent, a quiet race with China, and a debate over whether the investment of so much public money in space is worth it. This Radar 12min breaks down what is at stake, without filler and without jargon.
