NASA has introduced a new initiative aimed at establishing a permanent human presence on the Moon through its Artemis program. The mission focuses on developing sustainable infrastructure, including a lunar orbiting station and a base camp at the south pole. This long-term strategy is designed to facilitate scientific discovery and foster a lunar economy while serving as a critical testing ground for future missions to Mars. By partnering with international space agencies and private industry, NASA intends to ensure that lunar exploration remains a continuous and collaborative human endeavor.
- The Artemis program seeks to return astronauts to the lunar surface and maintain a sustainable presence for the first time in history.
- NASA plans to build the Lunar Gateway, an orbital outpost that will facilitate repeated trips to the Moon and support long-term stays.
- Exploration efforts are focused on the lunar south pole, where the presence of water ice could provide essential resources for life support and rocket fuel.
- The initiative relies on extensive collaborations with international partners and commercial space flight companies to share costs and technical expertise.
- Establishing a permanent lunar presence is considered a foundational step in developing the technologies required for eventual human travel to Mars.

What do you think? Is this one giant leap for humankind? Or something that's never going to get off the ground? Let us know in the comments.
This is just propaganda… empty promises.
Will they be able to make money while on the moon all expeditions have to make some sort of money so it can pay for the next trip
So what? I plan to build a base there too. Just like NASA, I don't have the money.
On the third mission to the Moon:
"Uh, NASA, we have a problem."
"Roger, Moonbase."
"Well, you see, I left the key to the base back on Earth."
"Did you check under the doormat?"
This guy should join seti. Put them ears to good use
"Everyone's got a plan, till they get punched in the mouth"
Not sure why NASA cancelled the lunar space station to build a surface base instead. It's a much harder job to accomplish. Hell, they delayed the crewed landing from III to IV.
They want to act like an invasive specie that spread like a virus
This is just fantasy they cant even successfully help their astronauts stuck in the ISS
INTERNATIONAL LAW IS SYMBOLIC! Deutsche Welle says that international law is symbolic and describes Steinmeier's speech as symbolic. Hypocritical
definitely Trump's idea just like ICE or else where did they get the budget from… the government of course
It must be called "Moonbase Alpha"!
Lmao. No they aren't.
7 billion? No way that can happen, maybe 170 billion with US corruption, and more likely 30 years.
Why don't you invite somebody with the capacity for critical thinking.
and Germany?…
even that won’t distract us from the Epstein files.
Americas should send Trump and his criminal syndicate to the moon and leave them there,
They keep interviewing this charlatan every time there's some news about space. My next door neighbor is just as enlightening when he talks about space.
SPACE 1999, by Gerry Anderson, is running behind schedule.
we never went to the moon , that is it , untill america goes again , there were never in the moon , moon consipiracy is true …
Evidently, spending time in space has implications for the size of your ears.
This is the first segment DW has produced in the last two plus years that I have given a thumbs up on. Please make more like this and not the other clearly political and biased segments. This one was great!
Dumb idea, take that money to make the world a better place…
Send Trump to the moon please!
20 launches in 2027? Huh good luck Jared
Like the man said… we should celebrate the opportunity it gives to science & not the politics behind it 👍
The new south pole to conquer, all kinds of countries will be crawling all over it.
Not to put a damper on things , and i do hope all plans are met , but sense i been born every spaceship that has attempted to go there has come back down in pieces no traces of the astronauts to my knowledge
Only 20b for moon base…. how much has been spent bombing Iran last couple weeks?
I wonder if I will live long enough to see the first human born on the moon…🤔
America, can't even figure out universal healthcare or understand how tarriffs work. They think they can build on the moon 😂. China will probably beat USA if any country is going to waste the money on it.
The United States isn't going to be building a base on the Moon anytime soon. Their politics are too dysfunctional for a long-term goal like that.
Nope, the contract writers (Trump hires) will work with the Military Industrial Complex to develop components with no expectation they actually get the moon. cough cough Bezos. Musk getting big big $$$$ contracts.
20bln over 7 years is nothing for USA. Our defense budget for FY2026, for comparison, is 961.6b. The amount of return the economy gets from NASA's inventions and innovations is tremendously valuable to society (think healthcare, aviation, engineering & technology). We should be spending more on NASA and general science research.
ummm I refer you to the sports car he still hasn't released, No he does not always meet his scheduled releases!
Mankind looks well set to convert mother earth itself into one of those
lifeless extraterrestrial worlds in outer space – (climate change, pollutions, pandemics, famines…)
The thought of "enduring" on the moon or else in outer space, whilst destroying your survival base seems absurd!
They can't even get out of orbit!..
The artimus program has so many flaws and no one actually knows the maths of getting the rocket there.
Just watch smarter everyday on this
NASA is planning escape route during these moment of WW3 look like situations in the world LOL .. good planning 😂
And even when it eventually is there many will say it doesn’t exist
12:54 it’s about colonizing and mining
