NASA plans to land the first woman on the moon by 2024

CNN  

CNN — NASA is planning on sending the first woman ever and the first man in nearly five decades to the moon by 2024, thanks to an additional increase to the agency’s budget by President Trump. “No woman has ever walked on the lunar surface.” Trump announced Monday that he is adding $1.6 billion to NASA’s budget “so that we can return to Space in a BIG WAY!” “Under my Administration, we are restoring @NASA to greatness and we are going back to the Moon, then Mars,” he tweeted. In December 2017, Trump signed Space Policy Directive 1, which called for NASA to send humans to the moon for the first time since 1972 for “long-term exploration and use” and missions to other planets. “Our efforts will include new work at NASA centers to provide the key technologies and scientific payloads needed for the lunar surface, adding to efforts already underway across the country.” NASA hopes that more exploration of the moon will help the US establish a strategic presence in space and grow their international partnerships.
