Apollo 13 mission lasted little over 5 days circled the moon had a 6 minute radio blackout while on backside of moon. Artemis 2 is taking 4 days just to get to the moon and expected to have a 40 minute radio blackout
50 years ago it was a race to the destination. An unlimited budget and a desire to beat the ruskies at any cost it was a high risk venture and was there and back. Now there is plan for efficiency, a non-tolerance of loss by the public, more research, planning for a future plantation there(that I don’t understand). The missions are different. The planning is different. The goals are different. |
