Elon Musk exposed Truth on NASA’s $90BN Plan to Return to the Moon, China somehow Better...
We all know putting humans on the Moon was one of humanity’s greatest achievements. Apollo 11 is legendary! But now, more than 50 years later, you might be wondering: with all the tech we have today and companies like SpaceX leading the charge, why is it still so hard to get people back to the lunar surface?
Well, buckle up, because in today's Techmap episode, we’re diving into the real story behind NASA’s $90 billion Artemis program and SpaceX’s Starship development. Spoiler alert, building rockets that can safely carry people to the Moon in 2027 is a whole different ballgame compared to back in 1969.
We’ll explore why the modern mission plan is way more complicated, why SpaceX’s Starship has faced its share of explosive setbacks, and what it really takes to make a safe, reliable trip back to the Moon.

To understand why, let's go back to the early days of human exploration of the Moon.
Things started with the Apollo 11 mission to the Moon, launched in 1969, which stands as one of mankind’s greatest achievements. What made it possible was a relatively straightforward concept: one rocket, one journey.
On the morning of July 16, 1969, the mighty Saturn 5 AS-506 rocket thundered to life. At that time, it was the largest and most powerful rocket ever built, carrying three astronauts into the unknown.
Twelve minutes after liftoff, and one and a half orbits around Earth, the rocket’s stages separated. Then the S-IVB engine reignited, setting the spacecraft on an exact path toward the lunar surface.
During transit, the Apollo spacecraft split into two major components: the Command and Service Module and the Lunar Module. The Lunar Module performed a crucial maneuver, rotating and reconnecting to stabilize the spacecraft for the rest of the journey ahead.
About three days after launch, the spacecraft passed just 110 kilometers above the Moon’s surface. Two more engine burns placed it in a stable lunar orbit.

Next came the moment that defined a generation: Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin detached the Lunar Module from the Command Module and began their descent to the Moon’s surface.
Once on the Moon, Armstrong and Aldrin spent 21 hours and 36 minutes exploring, collecting samples, taking photographs, and conducting experiments.
When their lunar work was complete, the astronauts boarded the Lunar Module’s ascent stage, which blasted off and rendezvoused with the waiting Command Module in orbit. The Lunar Module’s landing gear was jettisoned, crashing back onto the Moon’s surface to mark the end of that chapter. Finally, the spacecraft made its way back to Earth, splashing down safely in the Pacific Ocean, 920 miles southwest of Honolulu. And just like that, Apollo 11’s single-vehicle, single-journey mission captured human history forever.
