What A 2020 Lunar Landing Might Actually Be Like

We may see a one-off lunar landing in 2024 & then a big gap before @NASA tries again. Think about FGB/Node 1 flights & how long it was before real ISS assembly began. What's still TBD is what @NASA will use to land humans on the Moon. Can they build a LEM from scratch in 5 years? pic.twitter.com/4VawhupJ1Z — NASA Watch (@NASAWatch) March 28, 2019

Landing at the Lunar South Pole may have some hidden symbolism. 2 teams traversed Antarctica to reach Earth's South Pole in 1911/12 and then no one did a land traverse again for half a century. But people flew over and visited - briefly. pic.twitter.com/znUzNOrZHe — NASA Watch (@NASAWatch) March 28, 2019
