Artemis VS Apollo: Is NASA’s Artemis program actually “sustainable?”

Artemis VS Apollo: Is NASA’s Artemis program actually “sustainable?”

NASA’s making some big moves to finally get humans back to the moon for the first time in over 50 years. The Artemis program is shaping up with checks written and hardware built! So how does a 21st Century program to the moon compare to that of the 1960’s? In Today’s video, we’re going to answer the question, why does NASA think Artemis will be a sustainable program when SLS is sooooo dang expensive AND it’ll take at least two launches to get humans and their lunar landers to the moon. This CAN’T be more sustainable than Apollo, right? Well, we didn’t even begin to scratch the surface of the costs, so today we’re going to really dive into the total costs, including development, infrastructure and hardware by giving SLS and Orion a full cost audit. But we’ll even show you how the Apollo program and Artemis mission profiles differ including the specific orbits and rendezvous and everything required to get humans to the surface of the moon and even talk about the upgraded safety considerations and hardware involved. Once we look at all these details, we can answer the question, 50 years later, is the Artemis program actually an improvement over the Apollo program or is NASA going completely in the wrong direction when returning to the moon? #ApolloVSArtemis #SLSVSSaturnV 00:00 – Intro 03:50 – The Hardware 15:55 – The Missions 29:15 – Safety & Upgrades 35:50 – Program Costs 46:20 – Rant 52:25 – The Good Parts of Artemis 55:35 – Conclusion ————————– Want to support what I do?
