Will We Be Living On The Moon By 2024?

Recently the race to space has been heating up again. The possibility of commercialization in the aerospace industry has pushed private companies to compete to become the first to consistently bring people up into space.

Trump's White House has also been pushing a timeline that Jeff Bezos believes his company Blue Origin can follow.

From Reuters

Billionaire entrepreneur Jeff Bezos unveiled on Thursday a mockup of a lunar lander being built by his Blue Origin rocket company and touted his moon goals in a strategy aimed at capitalizing on the Trump administration’s renewed push to establish a lunar outpost in just five years.

His media event followed Vice President Mike Pence’s March 26 announcement that NASA plans to build a space platform in lunar orbit and put American astronauts on the moon’s south pole by 2024 “by any means necessary,” four years earlier than previously planned.

“I love this,” Bezos said of Pence’s timeline. “We can help meet that timeline but only because we started three years ago. It’s time to go back to the moon, this time to stay.”

Personally, I think if the economy continues to grow at our current pace this is a possibility.

Thoughts? Also predictions for who does it first, Jeff Bezos or Elon Musk?
