Jekan ThangaGUEST
Uh, I mean, I mean, um, lunar exploration, um, is now, I think, entering sort of its centerpiece.

Jekan ThangaGUEST
Um, you know, there's been a, a long push to send humanity to the moon, to explore it firsthand, and then further figure out how we can, uh, live, uh, live long, research, explore, uh, use that as a mounting or, or a beachhead, really, to explore, um, you know, all other quadrants of our universe.

Jekan ThangaGUEST
And, and that's been, uh, you know, sort of, sort of the dream ever since the Apollo, uh, missions and, and, and what was, you know, sort of, sort of, uh, shown then.

Jekan ThangaGUEST
Uh, me being a, a person who, you know, sort of grew up in the, um, late Apollo era, uh, in the late seventies, in which, um, you know, we-- Um, I, I, I guess beyond the sixties, you know, there was a, there was sort of a second golden age of seeing, you know, what could be possible with the space program and, and, and then there was a strong, you know, sort of can-do attitude for a while, uh, especially through the shuttle and the, uh, space station and, and, and so on.
