The moon isn’t just quiet, it is complete silent.
There is no air or atmosphere to carry any sound.
If something happened right next to you, you wouldn’t hear it at all.
Even an explosion or your own footsteps would make no sound.
If you tried to speak, your voice wouldn’t travel anywhere. Everything would happen in total silence. No matter what is going on around you–anonymous
Why is man so restless, sweating, losing sleep with brilliant engineers putting together machine, a spacecraft to access the moon which exists 384, 400 kilometres away in complete silence with no weather, no life?
A simple answer to this all-important poser is man’s exploding curiosity to know everything with a view to conrolling and indeed conquering everything, including nature and particularly testing living in another world when there is need to leave the earth.
TheTabloid.net gathered that the next space mission is already underway, and agencies like the NASA’s Kennedy Space Centre, Florida, US, are said to be pushing boundaries planning, testing, and launching the future of space exploration.
A report confirms the NASA’s next mission to return to the Moon by 2028 but spots one problem which indicates that the astronauts on the planned spaceflight might not have suits to wear when they land on the moon.
And it was learnt that the spacesuits being developed for the Artemis Moon landing may not be ready until 2031. Three years after the planned landing date. The same suits that astronauts need to actually step out onto the lunar surface.
It was further learnt that the “NASA commissioned two companies, Axiom Space and Collins Aerospace, back in 2022 to build next generation suits worth up to 3.1 billion dollars. Scientific American Collins dropped out two years later, leaving Axiom Space as the only company still working on it.
“NASA’s original delivery dates were described as overly optimistic and ultimately unachievable. The Register And this is not the first time the government has raised this alarm. NASA’s own watchdog flagged spacesuit development concerns back in 2017 and again in 2021.”
After completing a 10-day journey around the Moon, astronauts–Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christiana Koch and Jeremy Hansen–reported that key systems from life support to navigation and communication performed with exceptional precision. Wiseman, the commander even noted that if a lunar lander had been available, they would have felt ready to attempt a landing.
The mission, led by NASA, was designed as a test but its success has strengthened confidence for the next phase: Artemis III, where humans are expected to land on the lunar surface once again. Significance of this successful adventure can be seen in the eagerness to return to the moon to continue the mission where the quartet stopped.
A Dallax Texas-based Nigerian, Alhaji Kazeem Adetunji opined that the voyage to the Moon represents a pivotal moment for humanity, signaling extraordinary advancements in space exploration.
He said, “by laying out the groundwork for sustained lunar activity, their journey paves the way for future expeditions to Mars and pushes the boundaries of human accomplishment even further.
“In my view, the true significance of the mission extends far beyond its technological advancements. What stands out most is how the mission embodies the principles of international cooperation and diversity, bringing together a crew that reflects both gender inclusion and racial representation.
“This endeavor serves as an inspiring testament to what can be achieved when nations, cultures, and individuals unite in pursuit of knowledge and discovery beyond our planet. This fosters optimism that, in the future, astronauts of African descent—particularly Nigerians—will join the ranks of those selected for such missions.”
Another Science and Technology analyst similarly described the stride to the moon as extraordinary and a remarkable improvement on the Apollo-era spacecraft, appreciating the advanced digital systems of the Artemis II and the powerful Space Launch System (SLS) which offered enhanced safety, automation, navigation, and long-duration life support, making deep-space travel more reliable and capable than ever before.
“In essence, this evolution is not just about better technology—it’s about a broader human story From a race between superpowers to a shared mission for the future, humanity is now stepping forward together, preparing to explore deeper into the cosmos and ultimately reach Mars.”
