What prevents a person from sending the moon again?
We no longer hear the phrase “What prevents us from sending a man to the moon if we could?” As much as we heard it in the past. Perhaps the reason for this is not clear whether the United States can put a person on the moon again in the twenty -first century. The Wall Street Journal brought this phrase in 2018 in a report on costs and bureaucratic obstacles that impede NASA’s “Artemis” program. The title of the article was: “If we could send a man to the moon, why can’t we put a man on the moon?” This is a valid question as the first drop on the surface of the moon took place more than 50 years ago during the Apollo 11 mission to reach a vision launched by President John Kennedy. Kennedy could not think the technical progress that has taken place since then, as the power of computer in a (USB-C) charger exceeded the power of the Apollo 11 computer today. The last of the inferior landing on the surface of the moon was Apollo 17 in 1972. Movements and promises were not fulfilled there many persuasive reasons to return it, including the possibility of creating a scientific basis on the surface of the moon and preparing for a manifestation to Mars, as it is still a number of scientific questions. Several presidents promised to return, but none of them fulfilled his promise. President George Bush Senior was the first to suggest that the United States would return the Moon with a farthest purpose, which is Mars, which was in 1989, on the twentieth anniversary of the first informed landing on the moon’s surface from Apollo, but he could not mobilize the congress’s support for the idea with financing. President George W. Bush returned in 2004 to focus on the space program, where he promised a mission to the moon as a first step towards sending astronauts to Mars. The congress provided financing, but when President Barack Obama held office, he tried to achieve other goals. Also read: “Nasa” is delaying the first human fall on the moon in half a century to 2027. President Donald Trump proposed the “Artemis” program during his first term, and then the project was exposed to extensive criticism for his delay, technical problems and the high cost, which amounted to $ 93 billion. To make it clear, the United States spent nearly $ 26 billion on the Apollo project between 1960 and 1973. This is equivalent to approximately $ 260 billion today, after calculating inflation. Things were completely different when Apollo’s first tasks were launched, and technology was not only responsible for the success of the program. The United States was in a race with the Soviet Union, about strategic, technical and national security. Companies competing with “NASA” were the Americans and Congress united in this case, and Nasa inherited the wealth of talents of its predecessor, the National Air Navigation Consultant Committee, which was established during the First World War to help the United States capture Europe in aircraft technologies before expanding space flights. “The United States and the Soviet Union competed for the hearts and thoughts of the world’s masses,” says Tizel Muir-Eharmone, a historian of science and technology and the secretary of the Apollo group in the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. She added that Kennedy’s announcement on the support of the program in 1961 was not a coincidence, as it comes after the invasion of the Gulf of pigs, a failed operation that the CIA planned to overthrow Cuban leader Fidel Castro. Nasa is also facing a much bigger competition for talent than 50 years ago or even 25 years ago. Special spaces companies such as “SpaceX” and “Blue Oregi” can provide the same opportunities with salaries exceeding the salaries of public service employees. The question may not lie in the reason for our backwardness, but rather in what we did at the time and allowed us to succeed? Russia and China are planning to create a nuclear power plant on the moon in 2035, one of the evidence comes from the book “Hidden Personalities: The American Dream and the In -Monished Story of Black Women who helped win the space race.” While the title represents a focus on the spatial race, the book focus is a lot on World War II and the Cold War eras, when Nasa inherited the intellectual talent and experience in solving enormous technical challenges. Women who made Space Glory, officials of the Langley Memorial Laboratory Laboratory in Hampton, Virginia, in the local community, discussed talented women to improve the design of war aircraft. Men fight war, which means more work is available to them. Air navigation labs needed math or ‘human computers’ as they were called. Langley managers announced in the newspapers and went into service to colleges and female universities, which are historically visited by blacks. Suppose people can learn flight science while working as long as they are proficient in math. The book “Hidden Personalities” follows three black women, Catherine Johnson, Dorothy Vogue, and Mary Jackson, who are attributed to the preference to make major contributions to the spatial breed. Johnson calculates the first American roads in space (Alan Shepard) and the first American to revolve around the earth (John Glen). Vagan has become a programmed expert in Fortran and the IBM Central Computer. Jackson, a computer engineer (then a flight engineer), worked on wind tunnels and flight experiences. Some women hired in the lab in the laboratory after the war, but many of them were left to address the new challenge, which is the threat. The Soviet Union, which developed nuclear weapons and intercontinental missiles. Mieir Harmouni, a Chinese competition on space, while some estimates indicate that 400,000 people have worked on the Apollo program, says Mieir Harmouni is less than the right number. She added that the participants were loyal to the program and to participate in a large project and that they worked all the time. There is still much to explore and revive the moon’s tasks. There is still much of what is unknown on the distant side of the moon, which shows the tasks of flying that it is lighter and the name of the crust. The Chinese space program downloaded equipment there last year and harvested the first samples of rocks and soil. Both countries are interested in the site for its strategic interest, perhaps as a place to build a permanent base. The more we know, the more scientific opportunities available. The first landing of the “Artemis” program is aimed at the same area targeted by the Chinese mission, an area called the Antar-Aitkin Poland, and scientists believe it contains frozen water supplies. The ability to extract water and other resources will facilitate the objectives of building a base or scientific center. Water can also be used as a source of hydrogen to produce space -elected fuel. Why did the United States take 51 years to return to the moon? We will definitely return to build a scientific basis or open the moon to tourism. But we may have to wait until money, culture, politics and leadership are harmonious. In addition, the relative silence from the far side of the Moon Radio stars will give an ideal place to look for signs of the early universe or even space versions. These projects can improve international cooperation and improve our understanding of the earth and form our solar system. So far, these projects have not produced the same feeling of urgency, for example the fear of the spread of communism during the Cold War.
