Description: NASA says it will build a sustainable lunar village by 2035, but questions remain whether is it the dawn of a new space era—or just a promise.

NASA has unveiled an ambitious plan to build a “village” on the Moon by 2035, a project described as a cornerstone of its Artemis program and its broader push for human space exploration.

Acting Director Sean Duffy revealed the details at the International Astronautical Congress in Sydney, stressing that NASA’s goal is not just a lunar outpost, but a sustainable community powered by resources drawn from the Moon itself.

The vision includes a nuclear power station built using lunar materials, a permanent shelter for astronauts, and an eventual stepping stone for missions to Mars. According to Duffy, the U.S. is positioned to lead in this “new space race,” predicting America will be the first nation to land humans on the Red Planet.

The timeline begins with Artemis II in 2026 (delayed from 2025), which will carry four astronauts on the first crewed lunar voyage in over 50 years. Artemis III, planned for mid-2027, aims to land astronauts at the Moon’s south pole—a location rich in potential water ice deposits critical for survival and long-term habitation.

NASA says the data from these missions will help lay the foundation for a permanent lunar base, envisioned as a village where astronauts can live and work sustainably.
