Moon to Mars Initiative

The Moon to Mars Initiative is a NASA-led program aimed at exploring the Moon and preparing for human missions to Mars. The initiative has two main phases: first, returning astronauts to the Moon by 2024 to establish a sustainable presence, which will help test new technologies and gather scientific knowledge. This lunar experience will then support the goal of sending humans to Mars in the 2030s. By utilizing the Moon as a proving ground, NASA aims to learn how to live and work on other planets, paving the way for future exploration beyond our solar system.
