Feels weird to be doing these “yay humanity” things in the context of the war on Iran. I suppose the Apollo missions happened with the backdrop of the imperialist wars in Southeast Asia (Korea, Indonesia, Vietnam, Cambodia, …)
A much more interesting mission that is happening in August is the launch of Chang’e 7. This will be the first serious exploration of the Lunar south pole and Shackleton crater as a source of water and other resources essential to a permanent base. It will include a hopping rover to aid in the search. Like the previous Chang’e missions it will probably go unnoticed as the program continues to innovate the field of robotic exploration.
