-Two private companies are seeking to return the United States to the moon landing more than five decades after the end of the Apollo program.

-Since then, China and India have successfully landed on the moon, while recent attempts by Russia, Japan and Israel have ended in spacecraft crashes.
Landers from Pittsburgh-based Astrobotic Technology and Houston-based Intuitive Machines are scheduled to launch from Florida this month and next, respectively, the Associated Press reported.
This comes within the framework of efforts supported by NASA to begin commercial flights to the moon, as the US space agency is focusing on sending astronauts there.

The Apollo program is a space program supported by NASA, which aimed to land humans on the moon.

During the Apollo 17 mission in 1972, the last time humans walked on the moon, American astronauts Harrison Schmitt and Eugene Cernan collected about 110.4 kilograms of soil and rock samples and returned them to Earth to study it deeply.
One of the reasons that led to the start of the project was the competition between the United States and the Soviet Union, as in 1961 the Soviet Union was the first country to send a human being into space orbiting the Earth, namely Russian astronaut Yuri Gagarin.
