Transmission 02 - The Moon is not boring: Why everyone’s racing back.
From Apollo nostalgia to futuristic moon bases, we explore the revival of lunar ambition; and why our dusty, crater-packed neighbor is suddenly the hottest real estate in the solar system.
Between NASA’s Artemis program, China’s long-term lunar plans, and a growing list of private players, the Moon is having a moment... and it’s not just for the science.
TOD’s Episode Obsession: Lunar Real Estate & Property Development… (He’s started a fake startup called “Moon&Co.” and is working on a brochure for crater-view condos and luxury domes with solar flare shielding and artisanal oxygen.)
