Let's compare NASA's Apollo of the 1960s to Artemis of the 2020s.
Of course, this isn't a fair comparison because Apollo actually LANDED on the moon whereas Artemis is still very much in development. So what we're going to do is focus on capabilities - in other words, what are these two programs actually designed to do, how will they do it, how much will it cost, and what comes next.
