The Artemis Base Camp on the Moon

[triplets_93]

The Artemis missions will build a community on the Moon, driving a new lunar economy and inspiring a new generation. NASA team members explain why returning to the Moon is the natural next step in human exploration, and how the lessons learned from Artemis will pave the way to Mars and beyond. As NASA prepares to launch the Orion spacecraft and Space Launch System rocket on the uncrewed Artemis I mission around the Moon, we’ve already begun to take the next step.

I was disappointed that NASA didn't build a moon base years ago. It's a great opportunity for scientific research.

putting a permanent base on the moon is not that hard. It would have to be buried for radiation protection, but you could power it with solar panels (would need a lot of them but possible).

If they can verify a place that has a good amount of ice you can process that. Water to grow crops and get oxygen as well.
