I [gave a talk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HLPe4Op6bI) at the [2023 European Lunar Symposium](https://sservi.nasa.gov/els2023) on June 29 about how despite the emergence of private and commercial Moon missions there’s no alternative to public buy-in, funding, and outreach to sustain lunar exploration globally and reap its [immense benefits](https://jatan.space/why-explore-the-moon/) to science and technological progress.
