In a major shift announced during its "Ignition" event this week, NASA unveiled a detailed roadmap for establishing the first sustained crewed outpost on the lunar surface.

The plan effectively pauses the long-planned Lunar Gateway orbiting station and redirects its resources toward infrastructure that supports long-term presence on the Moon itself.
