#Repost///@amazingsciencez: Why? 🤔👽NASA’s historic Apollo 11 mission in 1969 was mankind’s first successful lunar landing, but subsequent manned lunar expeditions stopped after Apollo 17 in 1972. We can say that this level of exposure is due to a combination of technical, political and economic factorsThe original Apollo program was extremely expensive, costing billions of dollars per mission, making it unsustainable for a long time. The economic and political climate of the time diverted attention to other priorities such as the Vietnam War and domestic issues, diverting money and attention from exploring the moonSecond, the dangers of manned lunar missions, as demonstrated by the disastrous mission near Apollo 13, led NASA to reconsider the strategy Unmanned missions and robotic surveys proved cost-effective and relatively low-risk for scientific data collection.In addition, NASA turned its attention to astronaut programming, international operations such as the International Space Station (ISS), and exploration of other celestial bodies such as Mars.In recent years, there has been a renewed interest in lunar exploration, with NASA’s Artemis program planning to return humans to the moon by the mid-2020s. It promises new insights.Follow @amazingsciencez for more science related stuff.
