As a space fairing people, we have pursued scientific and technological advancements to the great benefit of our Nation. NASA, along with our space industry has proven its ability to do things that are extending our space economy from low-Earth orbit to cislunar space. Our global partners have the Moon in their sights, and together, we will return to the Moon and then on to Mars. Science has shown us craters in permanent shadow that might have water. Hydrogen and oxygen can propel us to farther destinations, creating opportunities for research and innovation that are full of possibility. The Moon is our home base, a steppingstone to extend human presence and exploration throughout the solar system – and beyond.
