NASA will attempt to send humans back to the moon within a decade. The agency has announced their intention to build an orbiting lunar station, known as the Gateway, that will be visited by humans by 2024, and will allow them to travel to and from the surface sometime after 2026. In addition to its own editorials, USA Today publishes a variety of opinions from outside writers. Based on its timeline, NASA is aiming for the first astronauts to visit this lunar station — called the Gateway — as early as 2024, with human landings on the Moon happening sometime after 2026. Despite the schedule, no building work has taken place yet and remains reliant on new technology being developed amid existing plans for other missions.
