NASA’s $93BN Plan to Return to the Moon

In two years, NASA plans to land humans on the Moon! NASA’s Artemis Program, which will establish a permanent human presence on the Moon, is currently underway. It has 4 main components: The space launch system, or SLS, which will launch astronauts into orbit. The Orion spacecraft, which will transport them to and from the Moon. The human landing system, which will transport them to and from the lunar surface. And Gateway, a space station that will support ground operations.

Already, Artemis 1, which launched in November 2022, has successfully demonstrated the SLS and Orion, by sending an un-crewed Orion around the Moon and back to Earth. The next mission, in 2024, will launch astronauts around the Moon and finally, in 2025, they will land on the surface. After this, many more missions will establish a permanent human lunar presence, serving as a stepping stone to Mars and other destinations even further into the solar system!

NASA IS LANDING HUMANS ON THE MOON AT THE SAME TIME GTA6 IS BEING RELEASED? WHAT THE HELL!?

[shrekshrek]

imagine looking at the moon and thinking about the people on the moon

I’m hoping China steps up. Nothing says progress like wanting to one up your competitor.

Just discovered this tonight, Best. Birthday. Present. Ever. I watched the landing in '69 and I'll be watching this one too.

Our refueling station on the moon is just another step to space exploration and I finally get why we decided to go back. Niw I am very excited avout that mission!

Very excited for great visuals with latest technologies, this will be next level for space research to the humankind

I’m excited about this and can’t wait to see the moon on my iPad.

Am I the only one asking, “where did you get the number 93bn?” I need a source for that because it is a bit misleading to some people given that Nasa’s annual budget is 25bn and only ~5bn of that goes to Artemis.

We already went to the moon 🌙 and now we are ready to get set and accomplish to move on to the moon and set up shop and keep moving forward to other planets and moons to set up shop and live in our solar system. ☀️ 🌎 📡 🚀 🌑 🪐 ✨️ 🌌 🌠 🛰 ☀️ 🌑

I always wondered how delicate the balance of things are. To add weight to a moon or something would change the dynamic of its orbit in ways that would be catastrophic to life on earth.

Human presence on the moon is essential for mining off world. It could solve the lithium mine contamination issue on earth and allow us to continue our development of green energy. Not to mention helium 3’s importance in nuclear fusion. Finger’s crossed they get us there.

Will my Roku Stick work on the moon? If not, I won't be going on vacation to the moon next year. I got to catch the 4th season of the Mandalorian. 😂

[ulyssescervantes]

This reminds me of the series For all mankind

[cometochristtoday]

Had the U.S actually walked on the moon there's no way the military industrial complex would not have missiles and built bases there by now.

[muntasirK]

Artemis is going to go broke after the first 3 missions 😂

[NCharlie]

If Blue feather is involved, add a decade... the problem w equality is that some people are simply better, mostly because they work so much harder

[johnlshilling]

I wonder what brand of appliances will be brought..? Appliances are ALWAYS breaking down. They'll need an appliance parts warehouse and a fleet of service trucks. 😊
