NASA built a space station in the middle of the moon

NASA intends to build a space station on the dark side of the Moon to serve the mission of bringing astronauts to Mars in the future. Currently, the agency has set up a team to plan this space station.

Last month, NASA also discussed with the White House about the plan to build a space station on the Moon, but it is unclear whether the US Parliament will support this multi-billion dollar project.

It is known that NASA intends to build the space station at the point named EML-2 in the dark side of the Moon. This place is located 445,788km from Earth, farther than the 370km distance between the International Space Station (ISS) and our planet.

The space station on the Moon, which acts as a hub in the universe, will facilitate and reduce the risk of more adventurous missions to further targets in the universe, including mission to discover red planet.

'There are many options and there are many different ways to bring people to Mars. All are being discussed before going to the final decision. Building a space station on the Moon and meteors can also be considered by us to help the mission of exploring Mars more easily , 'NASA spokesman David Weaver told the Daily Mail.

In preparation for a manned mission to Mars, NASA is developing Space Launch System boosters that can take the spacecraft out of the Earth's atmosphere. The project, worth an estimated $ 3 billion a year, is expected to be completed by 2017. After about two years, NASA plans to build a space station on the Moon.

However, to realize the plan to build space stations on the Moon, NASA must first solve the problem of protecting astronauts from radioactivity and maintaining the operation of space stations away from Earth. nearly half a million kilometers.
