The moon has always been a fascinating point for humans. Starting in the 1960s, we all saw the space race between the Soviet Union and the United States. The race was for the achievements in space, which the United States won when they landed on the moon. It was one of the greatest achievements of humans to land on the moon. Neil Armstrong made history in the year 1969. Since then, humans have many times gone to the moon, the last one being in 1972. Now, NASA is planning to return to the moon, but not only for exploration.
