You might be one who thought we’d never go back. 

You might be one who thought that never in your lifetime would human eyes see the side of the moon that we never see from here. 

You in your lifetime may never have thunk that politics and money and all of our priorities would take humankind back to the moon. 

And yet, here we are, a rocket did not explode. Everything worked. Humans are on their way home.

We’ve named A Canyon, a crater, after a deceased wife. We have seen things and done things now that have not been done in some 50-odd years. 

We made a return at the same time that terrible, chaotic, destructive decisions are being made. 

It’s not because those terrible, destructive decision makers are responsible. 

It’s because of planning and foresight, and all the people who came together to build something that would work something for humankind. 

And if you want to talk about things like this, make sure you’re here with us every week on This Week in Science!
