Artemis Moon Base

NASA has a new plan to reshape its Artemis program, aiming to build a permanent Moon base by 2033.

The updated strategy focuses on quickly setting up a long-term human presence on the lunar surface.

It includes using advanced drones for construction, pressurized rovers for transport, and nuclear power systems for reliable energy. To make this happen faster, NASA plans to shift more resources away from orbiting stations and toward building directly on the Moon.
