One Reason Why Artemis Is Not Apollo

Keith’s Note: Redwire’s Mike Gold just published an op ed about the Artemis Accords – it starts like this: “To celebrate the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11 the Smithsonian projected the image of a Saturn V taking off on the Washington Monument. It was a stunning display that half a million spectators, including myself, went to see on the National Mall. Afterward, I was walking home when I overheard a young girl ask her mother, “Why haven’t we gone back to the moon?” This was an innocent yet vital question.”

Its too bad that NASA is unwilling and/or incapable of highlighting articles like this since Mike was the powerhouse behind the creation and expansion of the Artemis Accords when he was NASA associate administrator for Space Policy and Partnerships, and as acting administrator for the Office of International and Interagency Relations. Oh well.
