Bill Nelson: “I think that you are going to see our recommendations to get to those problems, that NASA take more of the lead.”

NASA administrator Bill Nelson actually said that he envisions a world where the south pole of the moon is a gas station of sorts for the moon.

Not only work with you, we want it to work, because the Habitable Worlds, which is one that we go in the 2040s, we have got to start it now.

Our decision is that it is more profitable for us to go to the South Pole of the Moon, because we think that is where the water is.

NASA clearly has a vested interest in attracting, engaging, and preparing its future STEM professionals.
