NASA got instructions from the president, preparing to step up the plans to send a human crew to the Moon. The first Orion mission, without any human squad, should be launched next year, and the plans of the Agency were to send the men back to the Moon in 2021. The last one could be done earlier, as Donald Trump asked them to accelerate the process.

Robert Lightfoot was the one who sent a notification to NASA employees, in which he asked them to increase the efforts to make the first flight on the Moon after the one in 1972.

The ex-administrator of the space agency mentioned in the note that he wants to know more about the opportunities of accelerating the efforts for the first flight with a human crew and what the agency might need in order to get a man into space earlier than it was planned.

The speculations are that this is the first actual step in sending a crew on the surface of the Moon.

One Trump’s staff members declared that this could create the precedent of landing on the Moon and they hope that in Trump’s next term they could consider sending a vehicle to explore the surface of the Moon.

Initially, the mission in 2018 and the one in 2021 were supported by a partnership made by NASA with ESA and the project was a part of the ESA vision of preparing trips and exploring the Solar System, and also to continue the spirit of the international alliance that forms the International Space Station.
