NASA plans moon base instead of orbital lunar station
NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman announced the agency will pivot from building the Lunar Gateway orbital station to constructing a $20 billion base on the moon's surface by 2031, while maintaining the Artemis II goal of a lunar landing by 2028. The shift responds to criticism and aims to repurpose existing hardware and international partnerships amid competition with China and Russia.
