Can we actually <br />manipulate the soil on the lunar surface <br />into a construction material? , Jennifer Edmunson, Lead geologist at<br />NASA for the project, via 'New York Times'.<br />We need to start this development now <br />if we’re going to realize habitats on <br />the moon by the 2040 time frame, Jennifer Edmunson, Lead geologist at<br />NASA for the project, via 'New York Times'.<br />Fox News reports that NASA has partnered <br />with ICON, a construction company in Texas <br />that specializes in 3D-printing buildings. .<br />NASA is working with international <br />and commercial partners to <br />develop the infrastructure <br />needed for a long-term human <br />presence on the Moon, Rachel Kraft, Senior communications <br />specialist at NASA, via Fox News.<br />This infrastructure may comprise <br />systems including modern surface <br />habitats, rovers, laboratory <br />capabilities, power generation and <br />storage, and tools and equipment, Rachel Kraft, Senior communications <br />specialist at NASA, via Fox News.<br />In 2024, NASA plans to orbit astronauts around <br />the moon before attempting a crewed mission <br />to return humans to the lunar surface in 2025.<br />When we talk about a sustainable <br />human presence, to me that means <br />that you have a lunar settlement <br />and you have people living and <br />working on the moon continuously. <br />What that could be is only up to <br />the imagination of entrepreneurs, Raymond Clinton Jr., a NASA adviser, via 'The New York Times'.<br />When we talk about a sustainable <br />human presence, to me that means <br />that you have a lunar settlement <br />and you have people living and <br />working on the moon continuously. <br />What that could be is only up to <br />the imagination of entrepreneurs, Raymond Clinton Jr., a NASA adviser, via 'The New York Times'
