Published May 16, 2019

In an effort to take humans back to the moon, NASA has announced that it plans to send the first ever female to the lunar surface in coming years, along with working towards building a sustainable future there.

Up till now only 12 people have been able to walk on the moon, who were both men. NASA recently announced its ambitious plans to not only return to the moon by 2024, but also make the first ever women set her foot on the celestial body, and also working towards to permanently stay there.

According to NASA, this forthcoming moon mission will be different from the previous Apollo missions – NASA’s first successful moon missions that took place fifty years ago. There will be a seat on the 2024 lunar mission especially reserved for a woman. Also, moving towards gender equality, the mission is named for the Greek goddess and twin sister of Apollo, the Artemis.

Apart from setting foot on the lunar surface, NASA even plans to include establishing a lunar outpost during the mission. The 20204 mission will also include investigating moon’s resources and how they might be exploited, and also using it as a base to explore Mars and further into deep space, as per New Atlas.

Meanwhile, some people still remain skeptical if the mission is ever going to take place. Some of the concerns include basic financing, the need for the most powerful rocket ever designed, a new launch system, a fresh approach to lunar landing system, and brand new lunar space suits for everyone along with many other factors, reported Science Alert.
