USA might shelve plans for a permanent base on the moon. (Illustration: spacex dragon launch NASA) plans to send humans back to the moon by 2020 and establish a permanent moon base has been high on NASA's agenda. Testimonials from NASA's Chris Scolese to a congressional committee this week suggests that human missions to Mars will be a priority, according to an article on the website of the journal New Scientist. Scolese, head of NASA until President Barack Obama appoints a successor, was asked by the Committee about the proposed 2010 budget would put NASA in a position to plan towards a new moon expedition in 2020 representatives did not have a clear answer, and the way Scolese black is interpreted according to the article that NASA plans are changing. NASA is now looking at something less than a permanent base, but Scolese would not be specific on whether you are talking about single missions or repeated lunar visits over a somewhat longer time. Ongoing studies are looking at various options. He also stressed that Mars is the ultimate goal in this game. Critics of the moon base strategy has recommended the abandonment of permanent base, shorter trips to the moon and focus on manned mission spacex dragon launch to Mars instead. A clarification may come in a few weeks, when Obama presents the detailed budget proposal for NASA's activities in 2010 Moon enthusiasts can now have put their trust in Asia. Japan launched a few years back plans for a Japanese moon base by 2030 Some also believe that China, with its aggressive space program may be able to establish a moon base sometime in the future. ESA, the European counterpart to NASA and Russia have also signed up for the race.
