If you had doubts that the month was late, they could be rejected lately announcement This aviation group Thales Alenia Space and the Italian Space Agency will develop the first human moon habitat in an important update for the Artemis program led by NASA.

“Artemis’s aim is to ensure a sustainable human existence per month as a step -by -step for future tasks.” “Step Stone” is inevitably noticeable.

China and India have only reduced space lands to the moon soil since the end of the 2010s, and commercial companies have succeeded since the beginning of last year. Nevertheless, Moon Ventures gradually began to be seen as a pitstop instead of an independent final target – Mars draws attention to the larger, more extinguishing game of boots.

Only US President Donald Trump and SpaceX’s founder Elon Musk’s Red Planet Colonization Acceleration: Retoric’s changing enthusiasm, despite the fact that NASA’s social calendar has been adjusted to the social calendar through the Artemis initiative over the next few years. After releasing an unreliable test assignment in 2022, the next three tasks within the scope of the umbrella of the Artemis program target a manned flight in April next year, a South Pole in the mid-2027, aiming at a human expedition-Astronauts-2028, and at a point of NASA, astronauts to live in a multi-agency attempt and work.

At the same time, the American Space Agency prints the commercial lunar cargo services program (CLPS, CLPs called ‘clips’ in spoken language) and benefits from lower costs of the private sector to provide scientific and technology loads. NASA previously, between the years of 2024-2028 between the premiere of a combination of a maximum of $ 2.6 billion of contracts, he said.

The original space race began in the 1950s as two nation exhibitions of national pride, technology and military firepower. During the Cold War, it was the spiritual successor of the nuclear race between Russia and the United States – and after Neil Armstrong’s first step in 1969, he began to hug.

First of all, the chase that will reach Mars draws a slightly bigger crowd. China, until 2038 on Mars on the request list of a research base, and previously five years ago before the red planet was planning to send a manned mission, he said. The European Space Agency puts landscapes on robotic discovery and makes exemplary feedback from Mars in the short term and two years ago in question He plans to send Europeans to the planet by 2040.

In the meantime, Russia was more protected in revealing Mars plans. There is signal Following the Ukrainian invasion of Moscow, the European Space Agency and a common 1 billion euro exomar are suspended after 2022 suspension of the mission to work towards such tasks.

When you shake any Hollywood Hebie-Jeebies about the hostility of possible alien life, Mars’s charm is inevitable. More than the moon “world -like” environmental conditions and continuous hospitality has a good potential (some of them have sued for Titan, one of the months of Saturn). However, it will be interesting to see if national space agencies have changed the gear towards Mars – making the moon projects a state of private space companies that flocked to fill the gap in an increasing way.

One of them is the headlines of last week: in March, the successful, upright Northrop Grumman -backed Firefly Aviation and Space now put landscapes on the financial light and want a $ 5.5 billion valuation for the first public offering. At the end of March, a accumulated business accumulation of approximately $ 1.1 billion and a six -fold increase in income has $ 55.9 million. However, Titan’s blue origin from the blue origin of Jeff Bezos to the national governments and the more advanced and cheap satellites have competed in the landscape of orbit blockage and high development costs. To comply with our theme, Only rewarded The fifth CLPS agreement is worth $ 176.7 million to offer five NASA burden on the south pole of the month in 2029.
