After half a century of absence, "NASA" is preparing to return to the moon

 The US space agency, NASA, plans to send a rocket to the moon, in a move that would end a half-century absence, amid debate over the feasibility of sending more missions. On this month 50 years ago, NASA scientists gave their green light to launch a historic journey for humans to the moon.

According to the newspaper "The Guardian", he was not pleased to believe, at the time, that "NASA" would wait half a century before returning to the moon again. When the American astronaut Eugene Cernan, the commander of the "Apollo 17" mission, stepped on the moon, he did not think that the absence would be so long.

Experts attribute the failure to return to the moon over the past decades, to the high financial cost of the matter, and the need for supportive political decisions. Earlier this November, technical problems and weather factors in Florida delayed the launch of "Artemis 1" to the moon; It is the most powerful rocket in NASA history.

The project seeks to transport an unmanned capsule to the moon in a 25-day trip; To go to the moon and back, in order to travel 1.3 million miles. The success of this mission would pave the way for landing more manned capsules within four years.

"We will return to the moon after 50 years, so we can stay there, study, work, innovate and develop new technologies, new systems and new vehicles until we are able to go to Mars," said NASA President Bill Nelson. The NASA official described the return to the moon as a milestone in history, after previous attempts to launch in the summer and fall failed.

The launch was previously postponed due to engineers' attention to technical problems in the engine cooling system, and they also learned about a fuel leak, and at the beginning of October, the delay was due to Hurricane Yan.
