Investing.com – NASA plans to invest $20 billion over the next seven years to develop bases on the lunar surface. This is part of the agency’s goal to send humans back to the Moon and enable them to live there.

NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman outlined this framework on Tuesday at a conference in Washington, D.C. Attendees included partners and contractors involved in the Artemis program (the agency’s lunar mission), as well as U.S. representatives and international government officials.

NASA’s plan to establish a lunar base aims to fulfill an executive order signed by President Donald Trump last December, which requires the U.S. to return astronauts to the Moon by 2028 and begin building a permanent lunar outpost by 2030.

This announcement comes about a week before NASA’s first Moon landing in over 50 years, a mission called Artemis II. The upcoming mission will send four astronauts on a lunar flyby and lay the groundwork for future crewed lunar missions.
