Full Speed to the Moon
October 27, 2026
NASA remains on track to return astronauts to the Moon in 2028, to win the “new space race” against China, agency administrator Jared Isaacman recently told AP News. In Issues, Brain Babin, chair of the US House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology, agrees that being first is important, noting that it will “touch our economic strength, our technological edge, workforce development, and national security.” And as a broader principle, “setting the pace allows us to ensure that humanity’s expansion into the solar system reflects the enduring values of a free people and the entrepreneurial spirit that has always driven American progress.”
