“We need to focus on staying on the moon longer than just landing and staying there for two days and then leaving,” Nelson said in an interview with NBC.
He added that “humanity will go to the moon” to live and study there, noting that “the scale of these tasks is precisely what determines the fact that preparations for landing astronauts on the moon take a long time.”
“Once we go to the moon, we will live and study there, we will develop new technologies, all in order to go to Mars with other people,” Nelson said.
And he “does not consider it possible in the short term for a person to live on the moon in the generally usual sense.”
