NASA, the US space agency, announced plans to return to the moon in 15 years and the plan is to stay. It was 1972 when the last people stepped on the moon. The next time an astronaut walks there he or she is most likely to visit the polar region rather than the equatorial zone, the site of all previous missions. The poles are the preferred location because they experience more moderate temperatures and are bathed in almost continuous sunlight which will allow a permanent research station to be powered by solar power. Another benefit of the polar regions is that they are believed to hold mineral deposits from which oxygen and hydrogen can be extracted. And with oxygen and hydrogen the astronauts will be able to make water. After a number of robotic scouting missions a great many short duration manned transportation missions would take place. These missions would deliver the components necessary to build the moon station.
