Just because we have been to the moon before does not make the goals of NASA's Artemis program any easier.
. The mission is the first step in the Artemis program, which aims to return astronauts to the moon and establish a sustainable presence on the lunar surface, paving the way for future manned missions to Mars.
"The development and operations teams acquire expertise that no one else on the planet has. The vehicle cannot be built or operated without that expertise," Frost said in a post on Quora. "We don't have the factories or tools. We don't have the materials. We don't have the expertise to understand how the real vehicle differed from the drawings. We don't have the expertise to operate the vehicle," Frost said.
"The intent of Artemis is sustained lunar exploration and development, with hardware being upgraded continuously," Pernicka said."This was not done with Apollo, as that program was abruptly canceled without any transition plan in place for continuing lunar exploration with human spaceflight. Hopefully, the lesson we learned from Apollo is that a 'plant-the-flag and run' approach is not a prudent one.
To put the risks into context, Anilkumar compared the engineering of spacecraft and rockets to that of airplanes.
