Part IV: Identify the key word

Read the following passage and identify the key word which can best indicate  the main point of the passage.

1. Right now, there's a lot happening with the Moon. China has announced plans for an inhabited South Pole station by the 2030s, and the United States has an official road map seeking an increasing number of people living and working in space. This will start with NASA's Artemis program, an international program to send the first woman and the next man to the Moon this decade.

2. But what's most interesting about the Moon isn't the billionaires with their rockets or the same old power struggle between states. In fact, it's not the hardware at all. It's the software. It's the norms, customs and laws. It's our social technologies. And it's the opportunity to update our democratic institutions and the rule of law to respond to a new era of planetary-scale challenges.
