A Faster Way to the Moon
In a statement published February 7th, NASA laid out how it will work with U.S. companies to develop reusable systems through which astronauts could return to the moon by 2028. However, 2028 is still almost a decade into the future and with NASA being well known for changing political policies, issuing cancellations, changing programs under different administrations, and impending delays based on funding, who wants to wait that long!
Private space industry is going to the Moon with their own funded programs and research data, and will likely get to the Moon a lot faster and sooner than a decade of time.
SPACE1 has laid out extremely high tech plans to return to the Moon after the Monsoon period ends this coming summer, in the South Pacific Ocean. This activity of a return to the Moon will happen in 2019 and not 2028 for the private space industry.
— SPACE1 is now working to immediately establish a wide band spectrum lunar program of key missions that precisely lead to the focal point of a Moon landing. —
Getting to the Moon without delay is the best way to develop extreme high technology for landing on other worlds. Off world (from Earth) landings on the Moon, Mars, Ganymede and/or other moons in the Jovian system are high on the SPACE1 agenda.
