NASA shared an update on its plans to build a Moon Base on the lunar surface, as well as outlined progress on future lunar lander missions and the agency’s strategy for building a sustained human presence on the Moon. The Moon Base initiative is NASA’s effort to establish infrastructure near the Moon’s south pole that would support continuous human and robotic operations, scientific research, and commercial activity. The agency envisions the outpost as a stepping stone for future crewed missions to Mars. “We’re going to be getting tons of data from the south pole, which again, we know very little about right now,” Moon Base program manager Carlos García-Galán said during a news conference on Tuesday.
