From the report hereunder, one can see how many times men and women have been to the moon. There is no need to estimate the amount of money spent on these expeditions. And lives have been lost. Yet the journey to this satelite continues unabated. The question is why?
We have not been able to totally unravel the mysteries of the earth around us. The mysteries of the deep dark forest we are yet to discover; The earth under us and the deep secrets it holds we are yet to uncover. The past and history of our ever revolving planet, have left historians and archeologists running around in circles. The deep seas and the darks mysteries the hold we have been absolutely unable to understand the beginning of them. We are still trying to understand what the artic and the antatic are all about.
But instead of concentrating on all these unknowns, we are spending humongous monies which could be used to better our earth and mankind, running around in cosmic adventurism.
The latest being the Artemis and its crew that was supposed to have gone farther than others and landed on the other side of the moon, and returned safely to earth just this.
Congratulations to them.
However, is there something these astronauts and their sponsors know that they are not telling we supposed lesser mortals.

Key Facts About Moon Landings:

- First Landing: July 20, 1969 (Apollo 11).
- Last Landing: December 1972 (Apollo 17).

- Uncrewed Landings: Numerous successful uncrewed soft landings have been made by the Soviet Union, the US, China, India, and Japan, with over 20 successful robotic landings on record.
All crewed missions were part of the Apollo program, which ran from 1961 to 1972.

Who are the three men lost in space?
#OnThisDay in 1967, NASA faced a heartbreaking tragedy that shook the space exploration community. During a pre-launch test for the first crewed Apollo mission, astronauts Virgil “Gus” Grissom, Edward White II, and Roger Chaffee lost their lives when a fire broke out in the Apollo Command Module at 6:31 pm EST
Artemis II crew ‘happy and healthy’ after completing historic mission to the Moon
- The Artemis II astronauts have safely returned to Earth after a “textbook touchdown”, bringing their historic 10-day mission to a close
- The crew splashed down in the Pacific Ocean at 00:07 GMT (20:07 EDT), with commander Reid Wiseman confirming his team is healthy – here’s what happens next
- “This is the start of a new era of human space exploration,” Nasa says, after the crew’s return
- The four astronauts are “happy and healthy”, an official for the space agency says at a news conference
- The Artemis II crew successfully re-entered the atmosphere after a routine but nerve-wracking six-minute communications blackout
- On 6 April, the spacecraft reached its maximum distance from Earth – 406,771km (252,756 miles) – during the lunar flyby, breaking the previous record for the furthest humans have ever travelled into space.
252,756 miles into the universe
From a dramatic lift-off to a “textbook touchdown”, it’s been the trip of a lifetime for Artemis II’s four-person crew.Commander Reid Wiseman, pilot Victor Glover and mission specialists Christina Koch and Jeremy Hansen are the first people to travel to the Moon in more than half a century. They are now safely home, having splashed down in the Pacific Ocean after a 10-day journey.Nasa’s Artemis missions aim to return humans to the Moon’s surface by 2028 – an ambitious target by any estimate. But this mission, which saw the astronauts fly around Earth’s closest neighbour, sets the stage for future lunar landings. It’s the start of a new era of space exploration, one that Nasa hopes will lead to a dedicated “Moon base”.The crew have travelled deeper into space than ever before. The Moon has been examined in close detail, sketched, photographed, and recorded by voice memos. “No adjectives” could really capture what they saw, Glover said.The rest of us down here on Earth got to join along for the ride, experiencing Moon joy alongside the crew in the cosmos.For more on this story, you can head to our news article, or catch up with our podcast 13 Minutes. Thanks for travelling through space with us.
A journey to the Moon and back again – a recap of the Artemis II mission
After just over nine days in space, the four astronauts returned to Earth, landing within a mile of Nasa’s target site in the Pacific Ocean.
