So beside Elon keeping trying... we are quite behind scedule and need Russian, Chinese and 3rd world aside.
Moon. We fly around the moon, like cursing by being far from landing.
We are baldy behind having dropped the ball here while Elon is all over the place for nothing but explosions and that's how Wiki talks about it:
Artemis II is an ongoing lunar flyby mission under the Artemis program, that launched on April 1, 2026, from the Kennedy Space Center. The ten-day mission is currently carrying NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, and Christina Koch, along with Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen, on a free-return trajectory around the Moon and back to Earth. It is the second flight of the Space Launch System (SLS), the first crewed mission of the Orion spacecraft, and the first crewed mission beyond low Earth orbit since Apollo 17 in 1972.
NASA is still the boss in the court no matter someones major air time and media presence, but due to politics and greed we lack behind the next step in conquering space, which is a hub in our rim.
International Space Station (ISS): A collaborative project between five space agencies
Tiangong Space Station (TSS): China's permanent space station, which became fully
83.5% less than Earth's, which is still a lot more than 100% less of an Earth orbital station. It will be very much into collecting and analyzing moon materials and sending data to earth for computer based research. It will be about robotic digging into moons soil wondering what to be found. It will be a very lot about staring into the universe with optical and other sensors. It will be tiny modules looking like round shipping containers next to large satellite dishes, antennas and actually quite big telescopes to understand astrophysics. It will be alot about stuff no one reads, except some freaks creating our future tech's base...
