In October of 2024, NASA’s Artemis Program will return astronauts to the surface of the Moon for the first time since the Apollo Era. In the years and decades that follow, multiple space agencies and commercial partners plan to build the infrastructure that will allow for a long-term human presence on the Moon. An important part of these efforts involves building habitats that can ensure the astronauts’ health, safety, and comfort in the extreme lunar environment.
Russia, China reveal moon base roadmap but no plans for astronaut trips yet | Space
China and Russia have invited international partners to join them in building a moon base but revealed they don't plan to send astronauts to the moon in the next decade.
The International Lunar Research Station (ILRS) will consist of a space station in lunar orbit, a moon base on the surface and a set of mobile rovers and intelligent "hopping" robots , according to representatives of Russia's space agency Roscosmos and China National Space Administration (CNSA).

NASA wants your help naming a dummy headed to the moon - CNET
The names will go up for a vote on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram in a bracket-style challenge starting on June 16. The final vote will take place on June 28 with the official name announcement coming on June 29.
The moonikin won't be entirely alone. It will have two model human torsos, which NASA calls "phantoms," "made from materials that mimic human bones, soft tissues and organs of an adult female." NASA's longer-term plans are to send the first woman and first person of color to the moon, but it will first need Artemis I to prove SLS and Orion are working as designed.
Strawberry Moon: You need to see the last Supermoon of the year
The Moon is credited for a lot of things such as the tides, the seasons, and regulating our sleep cycle. But besides all of that, it is just a cool place to stare during its brightest, shining moments.
On June 24, Earth's only natural satellite will be in its full Supermoon glory, meaning that it will appear bigger and brighter than its monthly Full Moon state.
This is your last chance to catch a Supermoon this year as the Strawberry Supermoon will be the third and last of the year 2021, so be sure to camp outside for this rare sight.
Najja Moon's Monument To Motherhood Might Make You Weep
Moon's mother is 70. She worked as a minister, and now sings in a band in her retirement. "She walks to the beat of her own drum," Moon says. "I feel very lucky to have a parent who has been really vocal in encouraging me to pursue whatever I feel called to do."
Moon, who ended up winning the first of five commissions from the Bass Museum, didn't want her monument to only speak to her own experience — she wanted to capture the ineffable aspects of motherhood that would speak to anyone. "I really feel like one of the superpowers of motherhood is the lingering psychological effect of how that maternal figure raises you and continues to relate to you as you get older," she says.

NASA Might Put a Huge Telescope on the Far Side of the Moon | WIRED
The universe is constantly beaming its history to us. For instance: Information about what happened long, long ago, contained in the long-length radio waves that are ubiquitous throughout the universe, likely hold the details about how the first stars and black holes were formed. There's a problem, though. Because of our atmosphere and noisy radio signals generated by modern society, we can't read them from Earth.
"With our telescopes on the moon, we can reverse-engineer the radio spectra that we record, and infer for the first time the properties of the very first stars," said Jack Burns, a cosmologist at the University of Colorado Boulder and the co-investigator and science lead for both FarSide and FarView. "We care about those first stars because we care about our own origins—I mean, where did we come from? Where did the Sun come from? Where did the Earth come from? The Milky Way?"
China's 'space dream': A Long March to the Moon and beyond
The country has come a long way in catching up with the United States and Russia, whose astronauts and cosmonauts have decades of experience in space exploration .
Soon after the Soviet Union launched Sputnik in 1957, Chairman Mao Zedong pronounced: "We too will make satellites."
It took more than a decade, but in 1970, China launched its first satellite on a Long March rocket.
