NASA has declared that humans could live on the Moon for approximately ten years. On Wednesday was launched the Artemis rocket that contains the Orion lunar spacecraft. The mission of this rocket is to bring the astronauts back to the Moon after a 50-year break from moon landings.
Here is what Howard Hu said:
In this decade, we are going to have people living for durations, depending on how long we will be on the surface. They will have habitats, they will have rovers on the ground.

What Exactly Is This Rocket For?
The first mission of this Orion rocket is to register the effects of the flight on the human body.
Mr. Hu considers that this vehicle will carry the people that will land back on the Moon, so it is a significant day for NASA. Meanwhile, if the current Artemis flight were a success, the next would be with a team, followed by a third where astronauts would land on the Moon again since Apollo in December 1972.
At lunchtime on Monday, the spacecraft will be put into a distant orbit of the Moon because the current mission was proceeding well.
Mr. Hu was excited seeing the images and the videos feeling more closely back to the Moon.

The most important thing in this mission is to get the Orion module safely back to Earth.
The idea was to have humans living on the Moon once the safety of Artemis’s components and systems had been tested.
What is the reason for going back to the Moon?
The main reason is to discover if water exists at the satellite’s south pole because that could convert to provide fuel for craft going into space.
These Moon missions are a starting point toward more determined targets like getting humans to Mars.
The Orion capsule is expected back on Earth on 11 December.
