Why Haven't We Returned to the Moon in 50+ Years?

from American History Hotline · host iHeartPodcasts

The Moon. We hit it and quit it. But after more than 50 years is it time to rekindle the relationship? We'll explore the reasons we stopped going to the moon and why NOW is the right time to go back (we see you, Artemis).  Also, how does a return to the moon get us closer to landing humans on Mars? And how do we overcome some of the logistical and psychological challenges of traveling 35 million miles to our neighboring planet?  GUEST: Andrew Chaikin, author of the book A Man on the Moon.
