If all goes to plan, Artemis II, Nasa’s mission to return humans to
the moon, will launch this week. The mission will mark the farthest
that humans have travelled from Earth, and the first return to the
moon in more than 50 years. It will also pave the way for landing
on the moon again as soon as 2028. But given the Apollo missions
have already achieved that feat, does going back to the moon still
matter today? To find out, Madeleine Finlay hears from the
Guardian’s science editor, Ian Sample, the Atlantic journalist Ross
Andersen, and Jan Wörner, a former director general of the European
Space Agency. Help support our independent journalism at
