The Sky At Night – Monday 13th April @10pm | BBC FOUR

Maggie Aderin and the team return, beginning by exploring the progress of Nasa’s Artemis II mission, the first crewed journey back toward the Moon in more than 50 years. It is designed to carry astronauts around the far side and safely home again, marking the furthest human beings will have travelled into space.

It launched on April Fool’s Day, to the conspiracy theorists delight and, touch wood, it should be back before this programme airs. But is this renewed lunar interest less about scientific curiosity than the race to build data centres and mine resources?

Presenter Maggie Aderin.
