From Vice.com:
"Last year, NASA had said that in four years, it would be landing the first woman ever on the moon, and returning to Earth’s only natural satellite for the first time since 1972, through its Artemis programme. Now, in a release on September 22, NASA has shared an update outlining its plan, announcing a whopping $28 billion plan for the return to the lunar surface."

Here's another article from Ars Technica:
"NASA wants a big budget increase for its Moon plans. Is Congress biting?"

Mars > Going back to the moon. Still it would be worth it to show we still have the capability after 50 years.
