During his annual “State of NASA” address, Nelson went big on the moon, reminding everyone that, yes, we are going back.
Sometime next year, three astronauts will travel to and circle the moon — and if that goes well, the next mission will actually land. But before they get there, NASA and private partners intend to send a whole bunch of equipment, so that once the first woman and next man step foot on the moon, everything is ready for them to get to work.
Turning back to Earth, Nelson detailed how a new generation of satellites will revolutionize how we monitor and protect our planet as a system. The data will all feed into the “Earth Information Center,” which Nelson compared to a “mission control but for climate and earth science.”
