Summary

NASA is awarding billions of dollars in contracts to expand lunar exploration and build a Moon base. Space.com reports that the agency is pushing ahead with a plan to have a Moon base for astronauts by 2032, unveiling up to $10 billion in new contracts to launch and deliver cargo to the Moon. Its headline also points to new lunar missions and a nuclear-powered rover called PROMISE. The Seeking Alpha item had only a headline and no summary, so its account rests on that headline alone and gives no details on recipients, amounts, or schedules.
