NASA promised to return humans to the Moon as early as 2028

NASA is accelerating preparations for the "Artemis IV" mission, which plans to land astronauts on the Moon in 2028. The leadership of the American space agency presented a plan to accelerate work and optimize technical requirements to meet the specified deadlines.

At a special press conference, NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman and other agency representatives spoke about the measures necessary for the safe landing of astronauts. According to Isaacman, a lunar rover and basic modules will already be on the Moon before the crew arrives, which will allow people to stay there for an extended period.

Artemis Program Manager Jeremy Parsons announced that two private companies—Elon Musk's SpaceX and Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin—are simultaneously working on creating lunar landers. NASA aims to decide which of them will deliver astronauts to the lunar surface as late as possible, as both companies are preparing to complete this task within the established deadlines.

The last time humans landed on the Moon was in December 1972 during the "Apollo 17" mission. The crew spent more than three days on the surface, collected lunar soil samples, and conducted scientific experiments. Since then, no humans have stepped on the surface of Earth's satellite.

On April 1st of this year, as part of the "Artemis II" mission, the "Orion" spacecraft launched with four astronauts on board. This was the first crewed flight to the Moon since 1972 and the first flight of humans beyond low Earth orbit in over half a century. The crew returned to Earth on April 11th.

After this, NASA announced the names of the astronauts who will be part of the "Artemis III" mission, scheduled for 2027. They will have to perform a series of complex tests in low Earth orbit. These tests are crucial for preparing for the "Artemis IV" mission and the planned human landing on the Moon in 2028.

    чтобы "вернуться на Луну", надо там хотя бы раз до этого побывать, а не просто снять высадку в павильоне Голливуда
