NASA Administrator: 'The U.S. WILL have a Moon Base in the NEXT 5 years.' Here's how were going to do it... "We’re going to start launching in early 2027. We are going to literally start putting landers— these are uncrewed robotic landers and rovers— on the surface of the moon on a near monthly cadence starting in 2027." Space X and Blue Origin will be critical private partners in building the base. Where will we get the energy to sustain a moon base? @NASAAdmin tells me "We're eventually going to have a nuclear power plant on the moon." "We are we are going to experiment. Phase 1 is all about lots of landers, lots of rovers packed with science instruments, packed with tech demonstrations. We are going to have solar power. We are going to have nuclear powered RTGs."
