NASA's Moon to Mars program

NASA's Moon to Mars program aims to establish a sustainable human presence first on the Moon, using it as a testing ground for technology and systems. Lessons learned will inform future missions to Mars, including advanced habitats, life support, and propulsion. This approach reduces risks and builds experience before sending astronauts to the Red Planet. The program promotes international and commercial partnerships to develop innovative solutions, advancing exploration capabilities and establishing a foundation for potential long-term human settlement on Mars.
