As you probably already know, NASA is planning on making a space-station orbiting the Moon, giving us the possibility to start a new era in Moon exploration. The space-station had a very clever design on expanding and bringing astronauts to the Moon. Getting to the Moon is something not that exciting, right? Well, you shouldn’t be like that! I know we already went to the Moon in 1969, but this is different for a few reasons:
- This mission will land the first woman on the Moon
- This mission will land the first black man (actually a woman) on the Moon
- A space station with a place to land and a launcher to get astronauts on the Moon from the space station will be built
- The space station is made so that when more people/missions need to go to the Moon, it can be extended
- There will always be 4 people on the Moon
- Scientists have discovered a possible (actually guaranteed, but it’s not guaranteed that humans can go and dig it up) water source like some crystals on the Moon
How the space station will look and function
We established the details, now it’s time to dive in deeply…
