Americans on the moon, artwork
In 1972 Gene Cernan was the last man to leave the Moon. In the early years of the 21. century it seemed to be clear that the USA would fly to the Moon again. But after the end of the Space Shuttle program in 2011, the return to the Moon is no longer technological problem but a financal. Is the private industry interested in manned Moon landings? Or will China make this step? A symbolic picture

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork titled "Americans on the Moon" by Detlev van Ravenswaay captures a significant moment in human history. In 1972, Gene Cernan became the last man to leave the Moon, marking a milestone for American space exploration. However, despite initial plans for a return to the Moon in the early 21st century, financial constraints have hindered progress. The image symbolizes both success and uncertainty. Clad in protective clothing and standing on the lunar surface, an astronaut represents mankind's triumph over technological challenges. The American flag proudly waves beside them, commemorating past achievements. Yet questions arise about who will take this monumental step next. Will it be private industries driven by their own interests or China with its growing space program? As we gaze at this symbolic picture, we ponder whether manned Moon landings are still within our grasp. While technology may no longer pose a barrier to future missions, finances have become a critical factor. This thought-provoking artwork reminds us of our collective fascination with space exploration and raises important questions about its future trajectory. Detlev van Ravenswaay's illustration serves as both a reminder of past accomplishments and an invitation to contemplate what lies ahead for humanity's journey beyond Earth's boundaries.
