Why Is It Still So Challenging To Go To The Moon? - Video

Going to The moon, why is it so hard? Progress in this world often comes through a process of trial and error.
Consider Forrest Gump, who achieved despite his limited intellect and disability, or Harry Potter, who triumphed despite enduring significant losses. Even Rocky Balboa, with his numerous setbacks, wouldn't be the resilient character we know without overcoming challenges. It's not surprising that the same holds for science. 
Reflect on the Apollo missions and the numerous trials and errors they navigated to achieve the historic Moon landing. Fast forward to today, our space and tech know-how has skyrocketed. But guess what's still flipping tricky? Yep, returning to that lunar dance floor!
As we gear up for another lunar rendezvous, let's talk about the hurdles we're hurdling. Join me in this video, and I'll spill the beans on why, despite our stellar lunar legacy, revisiting the Moon is like mastering advanced astrophysics - no cakewalk! We're about to dive deep into the moonwalk of history, picking up wisdom from past missions, and catching the interstellar vibes of NASA’s Artemis program.

A Simple Reason
To uncover the driving forces behind the epic journey to the Moon, let's rewind to the bustling 1960s, an era dominated by the intense rivalry between the United States and the Soviet Union known as the Space Race.


Trump and NASA Budget
In March 2017, President Donald Trump inked a budget for NASA, dancing around the $19.5 billion mark annually, almost hitting $20 billion today.

New Technologies, New Challenges
But enough now with the dollars and cents, let's dive into the tech talk! NASA is on the brink of a lunar exploration renaissance with its shiny new toy—the Space Launch System, aka SLS.

Fueling the Moon Landing
Before recent NASA’s Artemis 1 mission could take its celestial journey, it hit a couple of roadblocks with not one, but two cancellations, courtesy of technical issues in the fuel system. Surprisingly, these glitches were like déjà vu—reminiscent of the Apollo missions and shuttle launches, all haunted by the same specter: fuel leaks.

Fuel Alternatives
The logic behind NASA's steadfast use of hydrogen fuel is rooted in its stellar efficiency, delivering maximum thrust with minimal weight. Yet, the narrative extends beyond mere physics; political directives also wield substantial influence.
