Great news for the human race, today NASA has announced plans to colonize the moon by 2024. The plan is to have permanent staffing at one of the moons poles, most likely the souther pole as it’s the better candidate to generate Solar Power and to mine near “dark areas”. “The nickname I use for the lander is, it’s a pickup truck,” Horowitz said in a Monday news conference from Houston.
This is a great goal that will take the human race to the stars and it couldn’t come at a better time.. a time of war. It’s a first baby step, perhaps the next one will be Mars. Recently Stephen Hawking has stated publicly that he believes the human race needs to leave Earth to survive. The threats of an asteroid hitting the earth or nuclear war breaking out is always a possibility for tomorrow and as the saying goes… don’t put all your eggs in one basket.
