NASA announced a new moon landing plan. Why are countries so persistent about exploring the moon?

First, because the moon is rich in resources, it is quite beneficial for its development if any country occupies the prerequisite. Secondly, because the moon is a satellite of the earth, it has existed since there were humans, so everyone has a strong sense of dependence on the moon and intends to immigrate to the moon. Finally, the reason why human beings mainly explore the planet is the moon, because at the current level of human science and technology, they are not free to go to Mars, Mercury, Saturn and even other galaxies. Even on the moon, few people actually walk on it.

1. The moon is rich in resources. According to the soil samples brought back from the moon by scientists, there are not only all mineral elements on the moon, but also some elements that are not on the earth. With the development of the earth for so many years, these mineral resources are decreasing. As a unique existence that has not been developed, if the moon can be developed and the mineral resources on it can be mined, its benefits are unimaginable. It is an endless treasure house, so any capable country will set its sights on the moon.

Second, it has always been one of the fantasies of the earth people to immigrate to this planet. You can get a glimpse of it from science fiction and movies. The moon is what they think is the easiest stop for interstellar migration. Because the moon has been revolving around the earth and is very close to the earth, scientists believe that if the moon can be developed, it may become a colonial ball of the earth and can be used to reduce the burden of the explosive growth of the earth's population.

Third, the lack of technology is the last and most important point. So far, we haven't developed a spaceship faster than the speed of light, only launch vehicles and space stations. And these are not enough to support people's long-term travel, so those distant planets can only look at the ocean and sigh. Only the moon, with the help of human power, can explore a thing or two. Therefore, we are not obsessed with exploring the moon, but we can only explore the moon at the current level of human science and technology.
