Why is Lunar Important Today?
The Moon is Earth’s closest neighbor and the first natural destination for long-term human presence and resource utilization (such as Helium-3). Lunar technologies will play a key role in the future space economy.
Lunar vs Martian
Lunar = Focus on the Moon (closer, more accessible in the near term)
Martian = Focus on Mars (more challenging, but the long-term goal for multi-planetary life)
