#197 - Why Isn't Artemis II Landing On The Moon? (Featuring John Plauche)

We landed on the Moon over 50 years ago—so why is NASA going back… and not even landing?

In this episode, we break down the real reason behind the Artemis missions, why Artemis II is only flying around the Moon, and what’s actually changed since the Apollo era. From entirely new spacecraft to stricter safety standards and bigger long-term goals, this isn’t a repeat mission—it’s a complete rebuild.

Featuring John Plauche, a mechanical engineer with a degree from Louisiana State University and a Master’s from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. John previously trained NASA astronauts in Houston, supported Space Station operations across Moscow, Japan, and the U.S., and worked on crew equipment for the Space Shuttle in Cape Canaveral and Houston. He now trains first responders on specialized rescue systems in New Orleans.

We also go deeper—into the mind of a conspiracy theorist.

We break down some of the most common beliefs around the Moon landing, including:

Why some people think we never went

The “technology gap” argument

And how modern missions like Artemis fuel new skepticism

Then we separate fact from fiction—what holds up, what doesn’t, and why these theories continue to spread.

If you’ve ever wondered:

“Did we lose the technology?”

“Why aren’t we landing this time?”

“Were the original Moon landings real?”

This episode answers it all.
