Summary
NASA is racing ahead with a bold moon base plan, pouring hundreds of millions into four companies to build landers, rovers, and drones—all destined for the lunar south pole before any humans arrive. This comes right after Artemis II’s record-breaking flight, with Artemis III set for 2027 to test lunar docking, paving the way for crewed landings by 2028. The vision? A sprawling, hundreds-of-square-mile outpost complete with drone perimeter markers to honor any international gear already there. Beyond just a base, this is the launchpad for a lunar economy, scientific breakthroughs, and eventually, Mars missions—with permanent infrastructure, including power grids, slated for the early 2030s. This isn’t just exploration—it’s humanity’s first step toward staying permanently off Earth. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
