Abstract :

The Moon, once the central focus of early space exploration, has re-emerged as a primary destination in global space agendas. After decades of relative inactivity following the Apollo missions, a renewed interest in Moon landings has gained momentum among spacefaring nations and private enterprises. This revival is driven by advancements in space technology, the potential for lunar resource extraction, scientific curiosity, and the strategic value of the Moon as a gateway to deeper space missions, including those to Mars. Programs like NASA’s Artemis, China’s Chang’e missions, and India's Chandrayaan series highlight the international commitment to re-exploring the lunar surface. Additionally, the growing involvement of commercial players has transformed Moon exploration from a purely governmental pursuit into a collaborative, global endeavours. This paper examines the scientific, economic, geopolitical, and cultural factors contributing to this resurgence and explores how renewed Moon landings may shape the future of human space exploration.
