NASA's Artemis II Launched, But It Should Have Been a SpaceX Mission
Description
NASA's historic launch is putting four astronauts on a mission to orbit the moon for the first time in 53 years. We explore the advanced technologies behind this achievement, the high costs of the Artemis II mission compared to SpaceX, and the ambitions of both organizations for lunar colonization.
We look at the crew’s extensive food menu but wrap with a discussion on future moon settlements, and why NASA should consider outsourcing.
