NASA says that they are looking for international support to start building a permanent base on the moon by 2020. By 2024, they would hope to have a permanent rotating crew on the base at all times, like we currently maintain on the international space station. The base would be built on one of the moon’s poles where it could take advantage of increased sunlight for power and would be used to stage trips to Mars and other destinations. Kick ass! |
