00:00There are moments in space travel that only turn out to be turning points years later.
00:06And that's exactly the kind of moment we're in right now. Because officially we're talking
00:11about lunar landers, hardware, contracts, test flights and technical architectures.
00:18But in reality something much bigger is happening right now. The entire strategic goal of space
00:24travel is shifting again and this time it's visible. Just a few years ago the story was clear.
00:31Mars was the big goal. Everything was ultimately leading to a city on Mars.
00:37That was the story told by Elon Musk, by SpaceX and honestly it was also the vision that inspired
00:45many space fans. And now? Now Musk is suddenly talking publicly about the immediate focus being
00:52on the moon. Not as a departure from Mars, but as the next realistic step. A kind of stopover.
