The Moon fundamentally changes the game for manned space exploration. It is a next-level proving ground where astronauts can build habitats, harvest propellant and minerals from the lunar surface, and learn the skills necessary to go onto Mars.

The Moon is the perfect proving ground for everything America needs to explore the solar system. Our astronauts will work with lunar soil to extract water and ice and produce propellant, a critical step toward one day manufacturing fuel on Mars. The goal is not flags and footprints, the goal is to stay.

The near impossible is becoming possible. We are building toward a sustained human presence at the lunar South Pole. It begins with Phase 1: CLPS landers and LTV rovers testing the “science of survival” on the lunar surface before heavy HLS cargo landers deliver the mass and infrastructure needed for an enduring presence. We are building the Moon Base for all we will learn, the innovation that will improve life on Earth, the inspiration for the next generation of explorers, and to master the skills needed for where we will inevitably go next...Mars. The Golden Age of lunar exploration has begun.

Artemis II showed a new generation what’s possible. Millions watched as humans began the journey back to the Moon. The engineers, explorers, and astronauts who will build the Moon base and go to Mars are watching today. This is how the next era of exploration begins.

America must lead on the ultimate high ground of space. Our priorities are clear—return to the Moon and build a lunar base, ignite a true orbital economy, and prepare for humanity’s next giant leap to Mars.

🌕 GRU Space (YC W26) is building durable space habitats so humans can one day live on the Moon and Mars. Its first missions will mine lunar regolith to construct a long-term pressurized habitat on the Moon for commercial space tourism — a hotel on the Moon. Congrats on the launch Skyler Chan!

China unveiled on Wednesday the names of its moon-landing spacesuit and the crewed lunar rover. According to a news release from the China Manned Space Agency, the new spacesuit, which will be worn by astronauts as they walk on the lunar surface, is named 望月 (Wangyu), or Stargazing, while the manned rover's name is 探索 (Tansuo), or Exploration. The names were reviewed and chosen by a group of experts from more than 9,000 proposals, which were solicited from members of the public. The agency explained that the word "Wangyu" symbolizes a new chapter in China's space endeavor that features manned missions to the moon and deep-space expeditions and also demonstrates the country's determination to uphold the peaceful use of outer space and pursue a shared future of mankind. Currently, prototypes of the spacesuit and rover are being designed and the research work has been progressing smoothly. China has announced its plan of conducting its first manned mission to the moon around 2030. China’s manned spacecraft was named Mengzhou in 2024, meaning dream vessel, which reflects the fact that the manned lunar exploration carries the Chinese people's space dream and opens a new journey of space adventure. The country’s lunar lander was named Lanyue in 2024, meaning embracing the moon, a term that appeared in a poem written by the late Chairman Mao Zedong. The word symbolizes the Chinese people's confidence in exploring the universe.

Voyager made a strategic investment in Max Space to advance the development of next-generation expandable space habitats supporting sustained lunar operations and future deep-space missions. This investment directly supports NASA's Artemis Program and aligns with Administrator Isaacman's commitment to be on the Moon to stay by 2028. It also strengthens Voyager's broader lunar roadmap, spanning cislunar mission management, surface logistics, propulsion, power systems and future surface infrastructure. The Moon isn't a destination. It's an operational domain. And we're building the foundation to treat it that way. Learn more here: $VOYG #missionready

The race back to the Moon is on, and America will lead. We’re leveraging the talent, technology, and national commitment needed to return astronauts to the lunar surface before the end of 2028. This time, we’re going not just for flags and footprints, but to build the capabilities to stay and prepare for Mars.

After more than 50 years, NASA is going back to the moon. This time its ambitions are bigger, with the lunar surface to be a launchpad for a manned expedition to Mars — and Australia is gearing up to be part of the action. #abc730

LFG! America is BACK in the Moon game! NASA’s firing up the massive Space Launch System rocket while SpaceX and Blue Origin build the next-gen landers that’ll actually put boots on the lunar surface and an American Flag in the ground. We’re not talking about it. We’re DOING it. Private innovation + NASA muscle = American dominance in space again! AMERICA FIRST!

Moon science? Yes. Preparing for our long-term future in space? Also yes. ✅ ✅ The Artemis II lunar flyby mission will give humanity a new perspective on the Moon, and test the systems and technology that will eventually bring astronauts to the lunar surface to stay.

Thanks to President Donald J. Trump and the national space policy, America has a real advantage…but this is a close race. China is moving quickly, and the timeline could come down to months, not years. We’re moving with urgency to return American astronauts to the lunar surface before 2028 and ensure America leads in the next chapter of lunar exploration.

NASA wants to send humans to Mars by the 2030s. Sending astronauts to orbit the Moon will be a key step towards landing astronauts there later this decade, before heading on to Mars. “The Moon isn’t just a milestone. It’s a stepping stone for the future of space exploration.”

Driving on the Moon starts with one question: what are we driving on? 🚧 In the latest episode of Austin Explains, we go behind the scenes at NASA's Kennedy Space Center's SwampWorks for the latest updates on Redwire's lunar infrastructure technology, Mason. The NASA Moon Base will be the home where Artemis astronauts live and work, and Mason is built to support landers, rovers, or robotic arms, transforming lunar or martian regolith into a durable, concrete‑like material. This is the foundation for habitats, landing pads, radiation shielding, and long‑term surface operations. Check out how new testing is bringing lunar construction one step closer to reality.
