![Could the Artemis images have been taken by an uncrewed space probe that would have been a lot cheaper to send to the moon…? Yes. Now it’s worth stressing here that although these images are incredibly beautiful they are closer in definition to art than they are to science images - the motivation for the Artemis missions is not science. It has always been political and economical. So we are in another space race again with the USA wanting to beat China to put humans on the moon again. And while there is a treaty that does stop countries from laying ownership to entire astronomical objects - so not one country can say I own the entire moon - there is nothing to stop Nasa or the Chinese space agency or a commercial company from landing at a given spot and laying claim to all of the resources there that they could mine and then make money from - these are the reasons why missions like Artemis are getting funded - those are the deciding factors. Not the science that could possibly come from it. In terms of science, the Artemis missions are thin on the ground. There’s a lot of focus on the toll that space travel takes on the human body, all with the view of preparing for longer term missions either to the Moon to build a Moon base, or to send humans to Mars. [something cut here] Did it justify the cost of this mission at the expense of other astrophysical programs that could’ve gone ahead instead and taught us a lot more science, no, not in my opinion anyway. Again just highlighting the difference between an astrophysicist and a rocket scientist that people often confuse. Although I will concede that the Artemis mission brought many many people some much needed joy over these past few weeks… correction, shared](/video/cover/7629727724717886742.webp)
