The new race for the Moon
In 2009, water was discovered at the poles of the Moon, sparking a new rush to return to the lunar surface. Pushed forward by the explosive growth of private spaceflight, dozens of missions have been planned to land on the Moon - though not all have gone successfully. Ezzy takes you on a look through the missions returning to the Moon, what they hope to achieve and why its taken so long to go back.
