Dragon X made it to ISS!
The possibility of returning to the Moon is now on course as the vehicles needed are being having their final tests and being prepared for the 2024 window?
Of what value the return to the Moon will be is still unclear at this time, that is perhaps based around the whims of the U.S. President and the free hand that he has given to Elon Musk to ruin humanities view of space with the array of thousands of Satellites!
One has not heard yet of when the dangerous return to Earth trip is to be made and despite this great achievement not to rely on Russia, a new Space shuttle is under development to be revealed soon!
It is much smaller to the retired ones, but it will be capable of carrying a crew of seven and will not be just for the ISS, but also Gateway that will orbit the Moon, if not direct operations to the Moon and return to Earth?

Uranus and Neptunian Discoveries?
139 Plutonian objects and regular space telescope Observations!
The Ort cloud has revealed a group of six hundred objects beyond Neptune of which 139 may be Pluto sized planets and amongst them may be that elusive dark planet nine that astronomy is gathering pace to discover?
The distances of these objects are now estimated to be up to eight times the distance of Earth from the Sun, Pluto to the fringes of the Ort cloud and it is not clear if it was New Horizons that has gathered this data or a Space telescope observations that have tracked unidentified objects only to discover that there are many more planets in our Solar system than ever thought?
The latest Space telescope is to be used on a regular basis for more observations of both the cold gas giants Uranus and Neptune, which are now revealing perhaps more of their secrets and that they are not inactive far our worlds than we have thought for over forty-seven years?
Wither another New Horizons probe is sent to Pluto is hard to know, but eventually something will be sent maybe from the Martian colony when it is established in the next fifty years or so?
Meanwhile NASA has revealed that the proposed Gateway Lunar station is now not required for the Artemis programme but a smaller station will provide emergency backup!

ARTEMIS to the Moon!
A great vision now put back to 2028?
Elon Musk may not be as clever as the U.S. President claims he is and recent testing of the ISS supply vessel and Moon projects have seriously flopped?
Meanwhile many scientist world wide do not want a Moon base built, but want to keep the region clear of human interference so they can capture long range Space signals for identification?
This return to the Moon is Trump trying once more to out with the Democrats, ie Kennedy in history, but going to the Moon has in some ways thwarted NASA's plans for a direct mission to Mars.
Artemis is not only a Moon base on the south pole, but a Gateway space station orbiting the Moon, putting into question the fate of the International Space Station and its well established research?
We just will have to see if the U.S. President wins a second term and what the future holds apart from the U.S. 'Star Trek' Space force?

New Mission to Pluto?
A proposed paper is underway at NASA!
Pluto is intriguing in that it is an active world on the known edge of our Solar system, New Horizons proved that with cold volcanism and an atmosphere! It would be interesting to return there with a robotic craft and stay in orbit, while also sending a rover to explore the surface?
Microbial life could exist on most planets that are active in some way, wither anything larger has developed will probably one day be discovered? Within our Solar system there remains many mysteries in relation to all the planets and Moons, humans will have to go and find our what is what?
The Moon, Mars and Titan are the next targets for NASA and a new Space station known as Gateway to orbit the Moon.
Water ice is the target to sustain our life on any of these bodies and Space travel too, it will take time since we are only sixty-two years old when it comes to this field of aeronautics and science!

The Moon?
NASA's Gateway to the Solar System!
The return to the moon is underway with a new space ship being constructed in the U.S. for a return mission and the establishment of a Moon Base and first human travel to Mars by 2030? The Trump administration believe that with the current technology available all of this can be achieved within the next eleven years!
Wither this is true or not by 2030 NASA hopes that the International Space Station ISS will be defunct and some of its component parts will be cannibalised for the Moon base? At this time there is n mention of reinstating the space shuttle programme which on paper still remains a viable proposal for inter-planetary travel!
Both China and Israel now have probes working on the Moon to gather much needed data on radiation exposure from the Suns solar flares and other problems that were discovered during the Apollo flights back in the 1970's!
