But Isaacman stressed that the timelines are closer than they appear.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They are thinking in 2029, we&#8217;re saying end of 2028 is when we&#8217;re targeting the landing,&#8221; he said. &#8220;That is months, not years.<\/p>\n<p>Isaacman said the Chinese &#8220;will land their taikonauts on the moon \u2014 there&#8217;s no question.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The question is, will the United States return before them, and will we do so in a different way this time?&#8221; he said. &#8220;Will we build the base, establish that enduring presence? I think the answer is yes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>After four astronauts looped around the moon on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/artemis-ii-moon-mission-highlights\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Artemis II mission<\/a> in April, NASA earlier this month <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/nasa-names-astronauts-crew-artemis-iii-moon-mission\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">announced the crew<\/a><\/span> of the next Artemis program set to take place next year. The Artemis III mission, aiming to test critical lunar landing systems, will mark a key milestone before the U.S. can send astronauts back to the moon for landing in 2028.<\/p>\n<p>Isaacman outlined that on Artemis III, &#8220;three of the world&#8217;s most powerful rockets will come together and test out their capabilities in Earth orbit,&#8221; in what he called &#8220;very a la Apollo 9&#8221; fashion, to give NASA &#8220;the confidence in our landers for Artemis IV in 2028.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is an achievable plan to put astronauts back on the surface of the moon,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Isaacman said NASA will work on its moon base, with missions launched on a nearly monthly cadence in 2027 &#8220;so we have that enduring presence; that proving ground for Mars.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Isaacman predicted that starting next year, NASA could begin building the base. Then, when the astronauts get to the surface of the moon in 2028, he said &#8220;there&#8217;s going to be a buggy there, a lunar terrain vehicle, there&#8217;s going to be a start of infrastructure,&#8221; followed by more in 2029.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But I would say, early 2030s, the moon is going to be like the International Space Station,&#8221; he said. &#8220;You&#8217;re going to have crews that are there on pretty extended periods of time, as we learn in that environment and prepare for Mars.&#8221;<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!--
