The "Artemis-project" and return to the Moon
The Artemis Project is important if we want to make the journeys to other planets and their icy moons. That kind of project requires powerful rockets, which are using nuclear reactors for creating energy. Those giant nuclear rockets would put together at the orbiter of the Moon.
There is always a possibility that the nuclear rocket will face the technical errors, and in that case, the gravity of the Moon would pull the radioactive debris to the surface of the Moon. And a weak gravity along with vacuum makes it possible that the handling of nuclear material on the Moon will be safer. And those giant rockets will need less fuel for rising to the Moon orbiter.
Also, Moon is a very good place for observatories of what mission is to make observations about the universe. So this is the thing why the return to the Moon is important. And the data that is collected should be open and everybody should have access to those files, which would close the conspiracy theories.
Secrecy is the thing, that breaks the projects. And that's why all data that is collected like photographs and films should share with the public, and everybody should have public access to those databases. So the now contract between eight states will advance the peaceful advantage in space research.

Use the Moon as the base would make the new type of nuclear spacecraft possible.
If we want to use electrostatic nuclear engines the fact is that the similar heat effect that is used in NERVA and ion engines can make with the solar panels. The ion engines are the most capable rocket engines in the world. If those engines use powerful particle accelerators for making thrust, the specific impulse of those engines can rise almost to the level of the speed of the light.
And ion engines can use hydrogen ions. So the system can pull the ions from the space through the tunnel, and even that WARP-drive cannot cross the speed of the light, it will be the most capable system for researching the solar system.
----------------------------------------
The problem is that the power of sunlight is not very strong outside the asteroid belt. So in the interplanetary rockets of the future would have three stages.
The first two stages are using solar power until the craft reaches the asteroid belt.
1) The engine uses an electric arc for heating liquid hydrogen
2) The solar-powered ion engine can use metal or hydrogen ions. The particle accelerator will be drive ions through it, and that thing will rise the specific impulse high enough.
3) After the asteroid belt the third stage would start to use an internal nuclear reactor for making electricity for ion rockets magnetic accelerator. Those accelerators are like the particle accelerators, what mission is to accelerate the ions to very high speed.
In the first stage what is used inside the asteroid belt can use solar panels for making electric arcs for the hydrogen rocket, or electricity for the acceleration track of the ion rocket. When that solar-powered ion rockets are taken the craft to near the asteroid belt, that stage can return to the Moon, and the interplanetary stage can start to use the ion motor. The first stages of those systems can use many times.
