2020s Lunar Exploration

The 2020s have seen renewed interest in exploring the Moon, with countries and private companies launching missions to study and utilize its surface. NASA's Artemis program aims to return humans to the Moon by the mid-2020s, focusing on sustainability and preparing for future deep-space missions. China has successfully landed rovers on the lunar far side, and other nations are planning scientific experiments and resource exploration, such as water ice. These efforts aim to enhance scientific understanding, foster international collaboration, and lay the groundwork for potential lunar bases and beyond-Earth exploration.
