NASA is planning to take the “next giant leap in deep space exploration” as it looks to send astronauts to the moon who are able to stay there.
The space agency’s administrator, Jim Bridenstine, called for American firms to help develop human lunar landers - “reusable systems for astronauts to land on the moon” he said scientist have been given a mandate by the President and Congress to return to the moon for the first time since 1972.
Bridenstine goes on to say, “We are going to the moon with innovative new tech and systems to explore more locations across the surface than we ever thought possible. This time, when we go to the moon, we will stay.”
