In a groundbreaking move, the United States has successfully landed a spacecraft on the Moon after over 50 years. Despite a landing glitch where the vehicle flipped over, this mission symbolizes a resurgence of interest in lunar and interplanetary exploration.
Led by Intuitive Machines in collaboration with NASA and private space companies, this achievement marks a pivotal moment in space exploration. It signifies a renewed era of cooperation between government agencies and private enterprises, propelling us towards possible future missions to Mars and beyond.
On this week’s episode of the TechTank Podcast, co-host Darrell West discusses the significance of the mission to the Moon and its implications for future space exploration policy. Joined by Darrell West is distinguished expert and staff writer at The Atlantic, Marina Koren. Marina regularly contributes to the magazine and recently authored an article titled “Apollo’s Sequel Will Be a Gold Rush.” Together, they explore the future of space exploration and the role of private companies.
