NASA will put an entire 'village' on the moon by 2035, according to the US space agency's boss. Sean Duffy, NASA administrator, has revealed plans to build a sustainable and permanent outpost on the lunar surface within the next decade. In addition to revealing his plans for the moon, Mr Duffy also made bold claims about the US's ambitions for Mars. Although the technical details are still unclear, what that lunar base might look like is starting to take shape. That is enough energy to power a lunar base through the 14-day lunar nights, during which solar panels will be ineffective.
