Moon lava tubes may become the safest homes for future astronauts

Moon lava tubes may become the safest homes for future astronauts

Scientists are turning to lunar lava tubes as promising shelter sites for future astronauts. These underground tunnels can offer strong protection from harmful radiation and extreme temperature swings. Researchers also suspect the tubes may hold valuable resources such as water ice, which could support long-term missions. With underground habitats potentially more practical than surface bases, study efforts are accelerating.

Artemis astronauts will map the Moon using their eyes not gadgets

Artemis astronauts will map the Moon using their eyes not gadgets

Artemis astronauts on a Moon flyby will rely on their eyes as a primary scientific instrument, trained like field observers rather than just technology operators. Building on Apollo’s legacy, they’ll examine lunar sites and phenomena, focusing on subtle color variations to infer composition and history. Mission reports are expected to deliver unusually detailed human descriptions of the lunar surface.

Artemis 2 sets course for lunar orbit, but the real race is for resources and claims

Artemis 2 sets course for lunar orbit, but the real race is for resources and claims

America’s Artemis 2 is now bound for lunar orbit, positioning a future landing and potential human settlement. Editorially, the bigger story is competition: nations want footholds before rules solidify, and resource extraction could turn the moon into a commercial staging ground for Mars missions. The mission’s “dream” is also a strategic rush.
