NASA outlines roadmap for permanent lunar settlement and exploration missions
NASA has outlined plans for a permanent base on the Moon.
The agency’s chief architect says the base could eventually resemble a city spanning hundreds of square kilometres.
The Moon Base program executive has emphasised that establishing a settlement is a complex undertaking.
The agency has described lunar habitation as a potential first step toward future missions to Mars.
NASA leadership says current efforts are intended to help inspire the next generation of space exploration.
