Why do we want to return to the moon?

Why do we want to return to the moon and the question is why now, if in the last century it was due to an exercise of power, of propaganda in the context of the confrontation of two ideologies that were advocated as those that promised the most advanced and progressive future, and if one failure could disappear, now it is due to an economic issue.

At that time it was almost a question of survival, during the Cold War the issue of breaking out in a third world war was often raised, it was an environment like that, there were several critical moments where that third world war could have broken out, and of course, if you showed that you had the best technology, if you showed that you were capable of reaching the moon, that you had the best rockets, the best computers, it will be the best form of incredible moral support for your people, even for your soldiers in the event of a conflict, apart from that, Of course, the whole issue of selling products that all this technological development entailed, because we have later seen many applications that were achieved with the space program applied from automobiles to televisions, communications, etc., but it was a question of survival and to see who could go the furthest and break the most records.

But in this case it is different, now it is for an economic issue, China also has another ideology different from that of the United States, politically they are different, but not economically, China has adopted a mixed model with a capitalist economy, there are almost as many millionaires, if not more in China than in the United States, according to recent statistics and its economy is everywhere, practically it is the great factory of the world.

So it is a question of economics and products and of obtaining resources and lunar resources are going to be essential in the coming years for any nation that wants to be a technological power in this century, anyone who wants to develop technological and advanced products will have to have one foot on the moon and can do it, being an ally of the United States within the Artemis program or an ally of China, such as Russia, for example, China wants with Russia to build a base on the Moon, it is like that, you have to find an ally. This is the world. I wish Europe had developed its spaceships and its space program and could go to the Moon independently, but it cannot, the Japanese, I suppose, are thinking the same thing and the Canadians too, perhaps in the future they can do it, but right now we have to join forces and we have to be there and we have to be in those contracts and in that future distribution of lunar resources.

The United States has agreed with Japan that the first non-American to set foot on the Moon is Japanese, India has the plan to create its spacecraft to send astronauts to low Earth orbit because it wants to create its own space station and this is a key piece, it is going to the moon thanks to what space stations are being discovered, thanks to what China is discovering its own and what the United States and the rest of the nations that are in the international space station are discovering in theirs, because they are great laboratories of investigation.

Initially they would be small bases with six, four or six people at most, researchers working there long term, starting in the middle of the century, things would expand, especially as soon as it becomes profitable to extract lunar resources, we talk about helium 3, it is something extremely expensive, on Earth there is hardly any Helium 3, it is only obtained through nuclear reactions and it is extremely expensive, it is not available on Earth because the solar wind expels it, the sun is what produces helium 3 in huge quantities, the problem is that we have a protective magnetic field and the magnetic field does its job, preventing the solar wind from reaching the Earth's surface and preventing helium 3 from reaching the surface and that is why helium 3 does not exist on Earth.

But the moon, which does not have a protective magnetic field, has been sprayed with helium 3 for billions of years and that is why helium 3 is one of the resources to be exploited on the moon, in asteroids and in any body in the solar system that does not have a magnetic field.
