  • The character of the astronauts and their handling of technical difficulties on their journey have generated international enthusiasm.
  • Despite the scientific and historical value of the mission, it's important to remember that the US is in a space race against China, with implications for international prestige, technological leadership, and struggle for lunar mineral resources.
  • The final goal is to establish permanent bases on the Moon, for which there is not yet the technology or a realistic plan.
