Back to the Moon: Lunar Gateway Project

The kids will love this, really hope it gets launched:

The aim of the Gateway programme is to open up the moon to scientific scrutiny in the same way that Antarctica was opened up in the second half of the last century. “The moon is like an eighth continent,” Parker said. “It’s an astronomical museum that has been soaking up the history of our solar system for more than 4 billion years. When we went there with Apollo, we basically went to the museum gift shop, grabbed a few souvenirs and came home. Now we are going to explore it properly.”
