Going to the Moon … Together
July 15, 2019
NASA has shaken up its leadership reportedly to help achieve the Trump administration’s goal of returning humans to the moon by 2024. At the same time, numerous other countries, including some smaller ones, are also aiming for the moon. Which raises a point made by a space historian in Issues when he called for nations to work together to explore the moon and deeper space, citing the vision of cooperation offered by President Kennedy even before the Apollo 11 mission landed the first humans on the lunar surface 50 years ago, on July 20, 1969.
