NASA Estimates It Will Need $20 Billion To $30 Billion For Moon Landing

The space agency will need an estimated $20 billion to $30 billion over the next five years for its moon project, NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine told CNN Business on Thursday. That would mean adding another $4 billion to $6 billion per year, on average, to the agency's budget, which is already expected to be about $20 billion annually. Bridenstine's remarks are the first time that NASA has shared a total cost estimate for its moon program, which is called Artemis (after the Greek goddess of the moon) and could send people to the lunar surface for the first time in half a century. NASA wants that mission to include two astronauts: A man and the first-ever woman to walk on the moon.

Honestly, I don't mind. But why does it take 20 to 30B to get to the moon? What was the budget for the 1st time?

As someone that's seen NASA budgets due to work that seems rather high. BUT I've never dealt with manned missions, just satellites.

It's probably just a finesse to get money for unrelated projects



When a Republican is president it's "let's go to Mars/moon "




When a Democrat is president it's "let's get these earth science missions cracking":Premeson:



Personally I prefer the the non planetary deep space missions (study the sun, observe black holes, etc...). It's usually hard to get elected officials behind that.



The DoD is usually worse because they'll have multiple projects/missions that do the same Damn thing

DoD also routinely has billions of dollars that mysteriously go missing and they failed their audit

Is NASA trying to give SpaceX free marketing?? Good grief.

How do you have a "give or take" of ten billion dollars?
