Interesting take. What alternatives do you think there are? Any cheaper way to get material back? Or send more equipment there?

Major study on plasma propulsion is moving the future forward. Open up the funding, we have places to go!

Arthur Walker, Jr, had a big, often-overlooked influence in space science. He pioneered using x-rays to study activity on the Sun, led the Challenger investigation, and opened opportunities for underrepresented groups in astronomy. https://skyandtelescope.org/astronomy-resources/famous-astronomers/arthur-b-c-walker-ii-x-ray-astrophysicist/ #Juneteenth #BlackInStem
