The cost of bringing people back to the moon has been determined

Mike Pence, Vice President of the United States, had asked NASA to bring people back to the Moon by the worst 2024, about 10 months ago . NASA officials , acting and planning on this, calculated that the cost of the new manned operation would be around $ 35 billion .

NASA stated that they could manage to develop the Manned Landing System if they receive an extra $ 35 billion budget over the next four years. It was also stated that this budget will be used to speed up other projects that are currently being developed.

NASA Manned Flight Officer Doug Loverro spoke about Trump's 2021 financial year budget during a speech Monday at the Johnson Space Center . He reminded that in the new plan, the NASA budget has increased significantly compared to the previous year, and with this increase of 12 percent, it has reached the level of $ 25.2 billion.

The most striking detail in the budget draft prepared by the Trump administration was the $ 3.3 billion planned to be spent for the Moon Landing System. Loverro reminded that if the new budget is approved by the US Congress, the United States will officially support the Moon landing systems for the first time since the Apollo program in the 1960s . Despite this, it was also said that the budget allocated was not sufficient to complete the project at the desired time.

NASA thinks to settle on the moon

Not only landing systems are included in the 2021 budget : resources were also allocated to details such as turning the ice in the polar region of the Moon into water and making habitable areas on the Moon. NASA is not only about landing on the Moon to its 2024 target; He had settle on the Moon.

The space agency announced that it aimed to establish livable facilities on the Moon's surface with its planning. For this purpose, the agency, which planned to establish a station in the Moon orbit, would first move its vehicles to this station and then lower it to the Moon surface. Thus, much heavier loads could be transported to the surface. 

NASA, which will start working for Mars after the installation of a station on the lunar surface , dreamed of being able to send spacecraft more distantly due to the less gravitational force on the Moon. As a result, he stated that he aimed to establish a colony on Mars with a similar method. All this was recently described in a video .
