Where does NASA want to send astronauts in the future?

2020 they want to send astronauts to the moon. Before that they are sending robots to the moon. NASA wants too have a moon base by 2024 so astronauts could stay there for as long as 6 months. They hope routine missions will happen some where around 2050 are even before. Right now they are finding new ways to survive on the moon. Finding ways to be self sufficient instead relying on earth to give the moon base resources. They have thought of several ways to to produce air. But they also need to have water and food. Well we have found ice on the moon and recently found more then we new about. So that looks good gradation will be a problem but where finding ways to solve that to. After the moon the next step will most likely be Mars. Space travel needs money and good technology. So if we invest more money in space travel we will get more space travel and if NASA finds better and finds cheaper ways to build spacecrafts will have more space travel to.

What does a footprint look like on the moon?

Due to there being no wind on the moon, as there is no atmosphere, it can be safe to assume that a footprint on the moon would look like a normal footprint, but wouldn't be affected by wind or rain. Therefore it would stay around indefinately. Basicly, its just a perpetualy fresh footprint.

How do astronauts stay on the Moon's surface?

Astronauts on the Moon's surface stay grounded due to the Moon's weaker gravity, which is about 1/6th that of Earth. They also wear space suits with weighted boots to help them stay stable and balanced. Additionally, they can use tools like tethers and handrails attached to the lunar lander for further support.


What is the reason footprints are on the moon?

Footprints are on the moon because astronauts from the Apollo missions walked on its surface. The moon's lack of atmosphere and wind means that footprints can last for a long time without being erased.


How long did the 12 people stay on the moon?
