CASE STUDY
Humanity is returning to the Moon, this time to stay. As the Artemis program pushes toward its first crewed landings and a permanent presence at the lunar south pole, real questions of engineering, strategy, and survival are unfolding in real time. This case study drops you into that unfolding story, challenging you to think like mission planners navigating site selection, contingency response, and the long road toward Mars. Get ready to trade theory for consequence, and imagination for strategy.
