NASA and the European Space Agency are collaborating on the Artemis program to return humans to the moon and establish a permanent base. The moon is seen as a gateway to Mars and a source of abundant resources, including iron, silicon, and rare earth elements.
NASA aims to establish a permanent base at the moon's south pole, called Artemis Base Camp. The agency also plans to launch a new space station, Gateway, into the moon's orbit. The moon is rich in resources, including iron, silicon, and rare earth elements. These resources could be used to make lunar bases self-sufficient. The moon's water ice could be used for drinking, growing food, and cooling equipment. NASA's plans are part of a new space race, with the US seeking to win. The moon is also seen as a stepping stone for missions to Mars.
