Man may want to build a settlement on the moon. This is no longer the stuff of science fiction, but already a reality that space agencies are working towards. NASA's Mission Artemis is working towards building a community that can live on the moon. But it requires a lot of planning. One of the many steps includes a lander 'Peregrine' that was to land on the moon, and send important readings back to NASA. But that mission may not be successful. Peregrine is running out of fuel and will not be able to get there as planned. Why is this important? How does it affect NASA's future missions? Listen to the episode to find out more.

Co-host: 10-year old Isabelle from Mumbai, India
