NASA has announced its most ambitious space program yet—a plan to build a permanent human outpost on the Moon by 2030. As part of the Artemis mission series, the base will support scientific research and serve as a test ground for future Mars missions.
The base will use solar power, 3D-printed habitats, and autonomous robots for construction. “This is no longer science fiction—it’s becoming reality,” said NASA Administrator Bill Nelson.
India’s ISRO, which has also launched successful lunar missions, welcomed the development, saying it could open doors for international collaborations. Young scientists in Nepal and Bhutan are also being encouraged to pursue space research, inspired by global missions.
