NASA’s not stopping with sending people back to the moon. It wants to give them the opportunity to live there as well.
The space agency plans to build houses on the moon by 2040, according to a report in the New York Times that interviewed several NASA scientists about the work already underway. “We’re at a pivotal moment, and in some ways it feels like a dream sequence,” Niki Werkheiser, NASA’s director of technology maturation, told the Times. “In other ways, it feels like it was inevitable that we would get here.”
