Humans could be living on the Moon before the decade is out thanks to Artemis, NASA says

A medium-term goal of the space agency is to see astronauts living and working on the Moon — perhaps even for extended periods.

Mr Hu added: “Certainly, in this decade, we are going to have people living [there] for durations, depending on how long they are on the surface, they will have habitats, they will have rovers on the ground.

“We are going to be sending people down to the surface, they are going to be living there on the surface and doing science.”

Ultimately, however, future lunar missions will be a prelude to humanity’s next giant leap. This will be onwards to Mars, the next planet out in the Solar System.

Mr Hu explained: “Moving forward to Mars, that is a bigger stepping stone, a two-year journey. So, it’s going to be really important to learn beyond our Earth’s orbit.
