U.S. wants boots on the Moon by 2024
http://www.moondaily.com/reports/US_...asy_999.h tml
What are the chances of this really happening? I admire Bridenstine's boldness, but this seems incredulous to me, as there haven't even been any contracts awarded for building a lander. In addition, NASA is attempting to build the Lunar Gateway and SLS at the same time. If Bridenstine's serious about this he should cancel ISS, SLS and the Lunar Gateway and start developing an architecture based on Falcon Heavy hauling up and assembling subsections of a lunar mission (lander, service module, reentry capsule, Trans-Lunar Injection stage) in orbit. But given the current political climate, I don't see this ever becoming reality. |
