Ngokusobala, izinhlelo zokubuyisela osomkhathi baseMelika eNyangeni ekupheleni kweminyaka yowezi-2020 bebengazimisele ngokwanele. Okungenani iPhini likaMongameli wase-US uMichael Pence umemezele kuNational Space Council ukuthi i-US manje ihlela ukubuyela kuSathelayithi Yomhlaba ngo-2024, cishe eminyakeni emine ngaphambili kunalokho obekulindelwe ngaphambili.
Ukholelwa ukuthi i-United States kumele ihlale iphambili esikhaleni kuleli khulu leminyaka ngenxa yezomnotho, ukuphepha kwezwe kanye nokudala "imithetho nezindinganiso zesikhala" ngokuba khona kwaseMelika okuqinile emkhathini.
UMnu. Pence uyavuma ukuthi isikhathi sifushane kakhulu, kodwa usasho ukuthi singokoqobo futhi wakhomba ukufika kwe-Apollo 11 njengesibonelo sokuthi i-United States ingaqhubekela phambili ngokushesha kangakanani uma izwe ligqugquzelwa. Uphakamise ukuthi ukusetshenziswa kwamarokhethi azimele kungase kudingeke uma imoto yokwethulwa kwe-Space Launch System ingakalungi kusenesikhathi.
Kukhona inkinga eyodwa enkulu ngezinhlelo: akucaci ukuthi ikhona imali yokwenza umsebenzi obiza kangaka. Ngenkathi isabelomali esihlongozwayo sonyaka wezimali ka-2020 sizonyusa uxhaso lweNASA kancane lufinyelele ezigidini eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-21 zamaRandi, isazi sezinkanyezi uKatie Mack siphawule ukuthi kuzoba yingxenye yalokho esasiyikho ngesikhathi sohlelo lwe-Apollo ngawo-1960. Yize isabelomali sombuso sikhule ngokusobala emashumini eminyaka amuva nje, njengoba kusetshenziswe imali ekuhambeni emkhathini, uhulumeni kungase kudingeke asebenzise imali ethe xaxa uma ezofeza inhloso yakhe.
Enkulumweni yakhe manje, uMike Pence wenze isiphakamiso sokuthi kuthunyelwe osomkhathi babuyele eNyangeni kungakapheli iminyaka emihlanu.
Njengesikhumbuzo, nasi isabelomali seNASA ngokuhamba kwesikhathi. Ukuqagela kwamanje kowezi-2018/2019/2020 kungukushintshashintsha okuncane kwephuzu lika-2017. Bona ukuthi ungakwazi yini ukubona iminyaka ye-Apollo. pic.twitter.com/sLwdEjhdJg
