The United States also planned a military base on the moon

 

The United States has plans to build a military base on the moon after building the world's first space force, but it is not known when work on it will begin or be completed.

Speaking at the US Air Force's "Engaged Space Conference" recently, John Shaw, the head of US space command, formally confirmed that the United States would "at some point in the future" send its troops into space and to the moon. Will deploy However, he acknowledged that military bases on the moon are still a long way off.

Technically, the moon is not at all suitable for human habitation, so in the first phase, automated or semi-automatic robots will be sent there to build safe havens and military bases for US troops. Only then will US troops be relocated.

A single space flight costs millions of dollars, while landing just a few humans on the moon can cost billions of dollars. Of course, building a colony on the moon would require hundreds of flights, so building a small military base could cost trillions of dollars.

The US economy is currently unable to bear such a significant cost. Despite this, the US space force and the US space agency NASA reached an agreement last week under which the two agencies would collaborate on dozens of projects related to human spaceflight and "defense of planet Earth". Will work with

These projects include further innovation in existing robotic technology so that they can operate freely and autonomously on the moon or any other planet. And possibly build human settlements.

If the United States is really serious about this, then we should see revolutionary advances and extraordinary investments in space technology in the years to come.
