NASA'S Intergalactic Strategy
Moon is a Waystation to Mars
Artemis Lunar Program
NASA has announced that it intends to build a long term presence on the Moon. The Agency says that will eventually help humans to get to Mars. NASA has a strategy. The Moon will provide a waystation to Mars and it will serve as a testing ground for the technology needed for interplanetary exploration and habitats.
Sustainable Architecture for Humans in Space
According to the Administrator of NASA Jim Bridenstine, NASA is working to build "a sustainable open architecture" to return humans to the Moon by 2024. Mr. Bridenstine testified this week before a US Senate committee in Washington, DC. He said that NASA is building for the long term on the Moon and then is going to use the Moon as a base to go to Mars and beyond.
Outerspace Technology Testing Site
NASA considers the Moon a testing stage where new technologies can be proven before going to Mars. Once proven, these technologies can help to build self-sustaining habitats on other planets in space such as Mars and beyond. The technologies include harvesting drinkable water for astronauts from subsurface lunar ice. Also, the potential of harvesting from lunar ice, hydrogen and oxygen as rocket propellants developed in space for further interplanetary missions.
