The Moon: Gateway to the Solar System

Talkat NDC Oslo 2019 · 2019-06-17..06-21· [computing-history]
slides:none on file

Moon science goes from maps to hardware: the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter images Apollo descent stages and pinpoints candidate sites; the LCROSS impact experiment proves LCROSS impact water detection in permanently shadowed polar craters; China lands Chang'e on the far side using a relay satellite; private Beresheet reaches the Moon but crashes (Beresheet failure). NASA plans an SLS rocket, an ion‑thrusted Lunar Gateway power module and Artemis return by 2024 but funds ($1.6B added vs ~$30B likely needed) and Resource Prospector get cut. Small nuclear reactors and reusable tugs are prototyped.
