Back To the Moon
My wallpaper for the week
comes courtesy of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. It's
an
artist's rendering of what the new moon lander could look
like. Maybe. Someday. But I wonder if it will be in my
lifetime.
Apollo 17 landed on the moon on 11 December 1972. Seventy-five hours later, on 14 December at 22:54:37 UT, man left the moon and has not returned since. It is too soon to predict whether it is NASA, China, or a private agency that first makes it back. But I can say for sure that if someone doesn't at least try, we never will.
Have a Great Weekend, Everyone - Aloha!

One thing is for sure. ESA won't be going or trying. Unless, maybe, they can hitch an almost free ride along with somebody else.
