4:16Now PlayingDecades on from the Apollo missions, the United States is now looking to send astronauts back to the Moon with the new Artemis programme.
NASA has scheduled a rocket launch for this month which will release a capsule called 'Orion' for an excursion around the Moon.
However, America is far from the only nation to have its sights set on the Moon. With potential resources to be recovered on the lunar surface, countries such as China, India and Russia are planning missions of their own.
Newsnight's science and technology correspondent Kate Lamble digs into the mechanics of the space race and what is driving the renewed interest in exploring the great unknown.
