The Spin

Narrative A

Eventually, Nasa will return astronauts to the moon for the first time since 1972, including the first woman to do it. As part of a long-term plan for a Moon to Mars exploration in the next 20 years, the Artemis project is an exciting test to see how close humanity is to reaching much further than the Moon in the decades to come.

Narrative B

Despite the long-term plan for the Artemis program this decade, only now is Nasa creating a single management structure to handle its entirety. Whilst the intentions are exciting, there has clearly been a lack of administration that may have been left too late to fix before the planned personnel moon landing in 2025.
