Official: Americans will return to the Moon
If they succeed, this will be the fourth group to put on the Moon since humans began exploring the universe.
Cosmopolitan commercial airline Moon Express has just become the first private company licensed by the US government to set foot on the Moon and this will soon happen, most likely in early 2017.
Americans will soon return to the Moon in early 2017.
Moon Express said: "With this extremely important milestone, we will be the first private company to set foot outside the Earth and will be a pioneer of commercial missions outside the orbit. Earth".
Moon Express company was founded by billionaire Naveen Jain, computer scientist Barney Pell and space astronaut Bob Richards will be the 4th Earth team to land on the Moon, after the US, China and Lien. Soviet State.
If they succeed, Moon Express will be the first private company to land on the Earth's giant satellite, and this also means that if there is anything on the Moon that can sell money. Anything that can be profitable, Moon Express will definitely not miss the "digging" opportunity .
This is the first time a licensed private company left Earth's orbit.

"There are no specific rules or regulations on this issue," said Bob Richchards. The path to licensing is so lunar that Moon Express is allowed to mine on the Moon before being granted permission to set foot on it.
In November 2015, the Universe of Commercial Competition Act was passed, indicating that private companies are allowed to own all the resources they exploit in the universe. Based on that, Moon Express obtained an easy mining license, but the license to the Moon is not so easy.
Until April this year, the US Department of State, the National Security Bureau (NSA) and the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approved applications for Moon Express's Moon.
They must absolutely abide by rules such as not to interfere with other space missions, "not destroying astronaut footprints Neil Armstrong," Mr. Richards joked and most importantly, should not make an umbrella. Contamination of the Moon's surface.
Private companies are allowed to own all the resources they exploit in the universe.
But it is more or less fortunate that unlike Mars, where it is still possible to maintain life, the Moon has only gravel and stones, no need to be too worried about this issue.
And now we wait and hope Moon Express will set foot on the Moon soon. Thinking of looking at people who have money to "travel" to places where few people have arrived is interesting, not to mention that their destination is a place 384,403km away from the Earth.
Hopefully the US government will also be easy through other space projects like SpaceX or Bigelow with the desire to go to their Mars.
