Will 2024 be the year of the Moon?

Moon or not, this will be the year of the revival of Becoming Spacepolitans!

According to the current plans, humans will orbit again around our beloved natural satellite in 2024, thanks to the Artemis II mission. They will not be “alone” since many other lunar robotic missions will occur this year. It’s like the warm-up of a new Moon race.

If Artemis II is on time, 2024 could be the first lap of the race, the year in which the Moon will be back at the center of the space competition. In other words, 2024 could be the Year of the Moon.

However, the Moon is not the only hot matter for this year in space. Many other missions, technology demonstrators, and new vehicles at their first flight will be on the launch pad.

To keep the pace of all this space news, Becoming Spacepolitans pages need to be revived. Unfortunately, only the English pages will be part of the update. The Italian friends, not English-speaking, could then use the translator available in Chrome or other browsers to get the content in their preferred language.

The first section is the Spacepolitans Manifesto, updated with the latest information and refined for a better understanding.

Which page will be updated next? A Moon of Opportunities, of course! When? Before the end of January, I promised!

Stay tuned, and Happy New Space Year to everyone!
