Cara Castronuova(@CaraCastronuova):I asked the NASA Administrator at the White House when humans will actually return to the Moon. Jared Isaacman @rookisaacman said late 2028, a date that has been pushed 4 times in recent years. No astronaut has landed on the moon since Apollo 17 in December 1972, over 50 years ago. In 2017, astronaut Don Pettit said, 'We destroyed that technology,' and said rebuilding it would be “a painful process”. NASA officially claimed it no longer had the hardware or the factories to build Apollo again. And NASA confirmed it erased and taped over the original Apollo 11 tapes. NASA says these invaluable records were wiped and reused during a “tape shortage” in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Thoughts?
