NASA has announced future plans of sending bigger chunks of the proposed base on the moon and better Rovers. These will be implemented in order to get more out of Space missions and hasten the development of Space Commerce.The deputy associate administrator for exploration systems for NASA, Doug Cook, pointed out that their organization's new plan involves sending larger habitats to the moon instead of the smaller pieces that were initially planned. These larger stations should theoretically allow the astronauts to learn more about the moon much faster than if they sent smaller habitat sections since the construction would take a longer time. The rovers were called by astronaut Mike Gernhart as "habitats on wheels." He pointed out that it's like a sports car and spacesuit all in one. What makes this whole package even better is the fact that it retains the same size as the standard unpressurized Rovers used by astronauts during the Apollo landings. This is a very exciting time for space-exploration as these innovations will allow us to learn so much more than conventional means being used today. Hopefully, the endeavors of the people at NASA pay off. |
