"We are absolutely on an achievable path now. There is no question President Trump gave us the Artemis program that's currently underway right now during his first term. He gave us the resources to actually execute on an achievable plan through the Working Family Tax Cut Act and the mandate not just to go back to the moon with the national space policy, but to go to back to stay to build the moon base."
"As the president likes to tell me all the time, let's figure out what we need to do to go to Mars, and that's exactly why you build a moon base, to master the skills that we can send American astronauts to plant the stars and stripes on Mars someday."
"You are going to see the public is going to be able to follow along. Starting in early 2027, you're going to see uncrewed robotic landings on the south pole of the moon on almost monthly cadence as we test out mobility, crewed mobility, uncrewed mobility, power, navigation and the in situ resource."
NASA Administrator Jacob Isaacman emphasized the importance of establishing a moon base as a precursor to future missions to Mars. He stated that President Trump has consistently encouraged the agency to focus on Mars exploration. The Artemis program, initiated during Trump's presidency, aims to return humans to the moon and build a sustainable presence there. Robotic landings on the moon's south pole are set to begin in early 2027, paving the way for crewed missions and further exploration.
