In today’s episode, we’re talking about why NASA is going back to the Moon - and why it has nothing to do with nostalgia. Artemis II isn’t a landing; it’s a flyby meant to answer one uncomfortable question: do we still know how to leave Earth? We’ll break down what’s actually being tested after a 50-year gap, why the International Space Station doesn’t count, and why this mission is less about space and more about human competence. So grab a drink, suspend your hot takes, and let’s talk about why going back might be harder than going first.
