NASA Lays Out Moon Base Plans with Landers, Buggies and Drones at the Top of the List

NASA is already ordering landers, rovers and drones for a sprawling moon base, less than two months after the Artemis II's record-breaking lunar flyaround.

The space agency outlined the first phase of its moon base plans on Tuesday, awarding hundreds of millions of dollars in contracts to four U.S. companies.

Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin will provide a pair of landers to deliver moon buggies to the lunar surface, at a spot near the moon’s south pole. These so-called lunar terrain vehicles will be built by Astrolab and Lunar Outpost. Firefly Aerospace, which landed successfully on the moon last year, will deliver the first drones to the moon.

All this hardware is ideally supposed to arrive before the first Artemis astronauts land on the moon, planned for as early as 2028.

During April's Artemis II mission, four astronauts flew around the moon, traveling deeper into space than the Apollo moon crews did during the late 1960s and early 1970s. For next year's Artemis III, another team of astronauts will practice docking NASA's Orion capsule in orbit around Earth with the lunar landers being developed for crews by Blue Origin and Elon Musk's SpaceX.

NASA is targeting Artemis III for mid-2027, with a landing by two astronauts following as soon as 2028. The moon base's second phase, from 2029 into the early 2030s, will start building up the permanent infrastructure, including a power grid. As for when the base will be ready to support astronauts for extended periods in specialized permanent habitats, that's expected sometime in the 2030s, during the third phase.

“Then we'll be able to say, 'Hey, we're permanently here and we're not giving it up,'” said NASA's moon base program executive Carlos Garcia-Galan.

Garcia-Galan envisions a moon base sprawling over hundreds of square miles, with a perimeter marked by drones, dubbed MoonFall, stationed at the corners.

NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman said these territory markers are meant to be respectful of other countries' spacecraft and equipment that might be nearby. He expects reciprocity in the matter.

The goal of the moon base is to encourage a lunar economy while conducting scientific research and laying the foundation for a Mars expedition, Isaacman stressed.

“For those waiting patiently, the grand return is close at hand and we will not slow down,” Isaacman said. “We are really just getting started.”

I maintain that we have never been to the moon as depicted in mainstream narratives. This includes any recent fanciful tales and/or claimed expositions by NASA, et al.

Anything beyond Low Earth Orbit is/has been fictionalized.

I can't speak to what may actually be occurring out there. I can only speculate. Though it remains that the vast majority of humans (essentially all those outside of a very tiny subset) can only rely on information provided to them by compromised and captured entities, Re: 'Space travel'.

Sleight of hand tricks, smoke & mirrors and various forms of deception abound.

You can interpret what I type however you deem fit.

I stand by all the historical content I presented in this forum, specific to this topic -- indeed, my skepticism of all narratives presented by NASA/SpaceX/govt space agencies has only expanded over the years. The masses have been deeply misled from the onset Re: 'Space travel'.

Feel free to use the search function for a refresher of my positions. Or not.

It's hard to know what your position is when you refuse to say (other than Van Allen = death, and space isn't what we think, or something). I've asked you several times what you think is really going - why are they lying about it - and you never have a good answer, only that it's not what it seems. It's pretty thin.
