The agency says it will pause its plans for a Gateway lunar space station and instead focus first on establishing a moon base. In order to do that, NASA will "increase the tempo of lunar activity, sending rovers, instruments, and technology demonstrations" over the coming years to help build out the necessary infrastructure.
In other news, NASA has also announced it will aim to launch the Space Reactor-1 Freedom, the "first nuclear powered interplanetary spacecraft," in 2028 and send a fleet of tiny "Skyfall" helicopters to Mars. | | |   | | (Future/NordVPN) | With up to $513 off, a $50 Amazon voucher and four months free, you can watch sci-fi streaming shows and movies like 'Monarch: Legacy of monsters' securely while traveling. | |  | | (Harry Bennett / Future) | Do you want to get a better look at the universe around you?
