Is The U.S. Ready To Go Back To The Moon?

There has been a space battle raging above our heads and it has nothing to do with the new Star Wars.

Presidential administrations have been directing NASA to prepare to go back to the moon, then switching that to Mars, and now President Trump has changed the trajectory back to our own satellite: the moon.

So are we really ready for another moon shot? What’s the purpose? And will we be able to get there before the Chinese or Russians?

For that we now turn to Brendan Byrne, space reporter for WMFE Orlando and host of the "Are We There Yet?" Mars Podcast.

Steve Goldstein was a host at KJZZ from 1997 to 2022.
