It is possible for humans to live on the moon. More on this: And in just over a decade, humans will be able to live on the moon. This is the result of an ambitious study funded by the US space agency (NASA). News from IANS. In 1979, man set foot on the moon for the first time. US astronauts successfully land on the moon aboard the Apollo 11 spacecraft. The news agency The Verge released a special report on Monday to mark the 46th anniversary of that historic event. It contains details of when and how humans will land on the moon next time . According to the study by Nexgen Space LLC , if NASA goes ahead with the right plan, it will be able to send a robotic vehicle back to the moon by 2018. Work could begin in 2018 to send NASA's robotic spacecraft to the lunar polar region in search of hydrogen gas. Hopefully , the campaign will start in the next two years. According to the study , the construction of special robots may start in 2021, keeping in mind the plan to send humans to the moon again. NASA could launch a new mission to send manned spacecraft to the moon within the current budget , The Verge reports . For this, the company has to adopt the technology used to supply supplies to the International Space Station (ISS). At present, logistics are sent to ISS jointly with private organizations like SpaceX or Orbital Attic. SpaceX currently charges US হাজার 4,650 per kilogram of material to send to the ISS on a Falcon Nine rocket. In the Apollo era, it cost ৬ 48,000 per kilogram to send a Saturn Five spacecraft. And the cost of transporting goods by NASA space shuttle was 60 thousand dollars per kg. According to SpaceX , the Falcon Heavy rocket will be more affordable than the Falcon Nine. NASA has already begun plans for a mission to the moon with Falcon's next-generation rocket. However, no spacecraft will land on the Earth satellite in that project. The study, based on a review by 21 experts, further said that NASA could reduce the number of possible missions to the moon from 12 to three by involving commercial organizations. This will reduce the cost of the whole project. However, some technology development work is still left for this.
