Default NASA considers outpost beyond moon's far side

"NASA is pressing forward on assessing the value of a "human-tended
waypoint" near the far side of the moon — one that would embrace
international partnerships as well as commercial and academic
participation,
Space.com has learned.

According to a Feb. 3 memo from William Gerstenmaier, NASA's
associate
administrator for human exploration and operations, a team is being
formed
to develop a cohesive plan for exploring a spot in space known as the
Earth-
moon libration point 2 (EML-2)."
