NASA Details Future Exploration on the Moon
NASA's Artemis blueprint goes far beyond a single landing — the agency is planning lunar terrain vehicles, a surface habitat, and an orbiting Gateway station to establish a sustained human presence on the Moon.
The times have changed that as a planet, we have had to change how we live and evolve in these uncertain times, the likes of Space-X, Rocket Lab, and NASA, to name a few continue their missions that have remained steadfast.

It’s 2020, and NASA has outlined more of their master plan to leverage the Artemis program and how that program is going to prepare a sustained presence of astronauts back on the moon by 2024. To execute the plan, NASA will approach it from several strategies, which include a lunar terrain vehicle (LTV), a habitable mobility platform, and a foundational surface habitat. They will combine these with an orbiting gateway international habitat that will accrue additional modules as the program evolves.
