大象传媒

For the first time in over fifty years, humans are returning to the moon and the 大象传媒 World Service and the Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851 have joined forces to hear from the leading engineers making it possible.

The project to return to the moon is called Artemis and involves the most powerful rocket and spacecraft NASA has ever built for humans, a space station in lunar orbit, and a permanent moon base on the surface. It is planned as a staging post in the human exploration of Mars.

A special event called, The Engineers: Lunar Exploration, will be held in London to look at the Artemis project. One of those engineers is Howard Hu. He told Newsday: 鈥淎pollo went to visit the moon. Artemis is going back to stay.鈥�
