These next generation spacesuits will provide increased mobility, modern communications and a more robust life support system than its Apollo predecessors. With improved functionality and movement, crew can conduct more complex experiments and collect more unique geologic samples. Neptune in Pisces is forming a strong sextile to Pluto retrograde in Capricorn. Intuition may be guiding us, but the nature of Pluto is to undermine all things that are out of date. Pluto's retrograde can also unearth discoveries. We may learn some new information from our past. This year's June Solstice (Summer in the Northern Hemisphere/Winter in the Southern) carries a bit of a punch with it as the Sun was moving from Gemini into Cancer, it was forming an inconjunct (quincunx) aspect to Pluto retrograde in Capricorn on the anaretic degree. The anaretic degree carries intensity to the next level. We feel unsettled by the influence of the last degree of any sign, and when there is an aspect between planets in the last degree of signs, we feel even more jittery with anticipation (or dread) of what is to come. When the Sun is moving from Gemini or Sagittarius into Cancer or Capricorn, it is a solstice event of either being the longest day of the year, or the shortest day of the year, which also adds its own level of intensity. Regardless, there is always a fresh change about to occur as we push into a new season. I think there’s a very large risk of geopolitical conflict,” says Phil Metzger. “If a single nation decides to go it alone on creating industry in space, then eventually that single nation would have a tremendous political, economic and military advantage.”

The moon wanes all the way down to the dark moon, which needs a mention, as this is the lowest energy point and most emotional part of the lunar cycle. This is the end of the waning moon when the moon is barely visible in the sky but hasn’t yet become new.NASA has proposed two lunar surface transportation systems: a lunar terrain vehicle (LTV) and a mobile home and office referred to as a habitable mobility platform. We had a person on Orion who was near retirement,” says Peterson. “He was expressing that he might push out his retirement so he could experience it on the shop floor.” Have you ever woken up one morning feeling overly emotional or questioning certain areas of your life? Are there days when you feel like your intuition is so strong, it seems like you have all the answers, and everything falls into place almost effortlessly? Or how about the nights you lie awake staring at the ceiling or sudden cravings for solitude and alone time? Do you find yourself feeling impacted by the full moon? Kirsty Gallagher, moon mentor and author, explores the power of the lunar cycle and how we can utilise this to make positive change The administration cited Chinese lunar ambitions while justifying the return date of 2024. Some observers think space-faring nations like the US, China and Russia will need to coordinate lunar exploration to navigate murky legal waters over who owns lunar resources.

On each new trip, astronauts are going to have an increasing level of comfort with the capabilities to explore and study more of the Moon than ever before,” said Kathy Lueders, associate administrator for human spaceflight at NASA Headquarters in Washington. “With more demand for access to the Moon, we are developing the technologies to achieve an unprecedented human and robotic presence 240,000 miles from home. Our experience on the Moon this decade will prepare us for an even greater adventure in the universe – human exploration of Mars.” Where to stay

This time round, Nasa wants to do things differently. The Moon is part of a bigger ambition to explore deep space, including Mars, so part of the plan is to establish a lunar outpost. Scenarios like this are fantasy, for now. But it’s one possible way humans could live and work on the Moon. In addition to protecting against the extremes in temperature, radiation, and seismic activity, one of the chief concerns is the hazard posed by all the jagged and statically charged lunar regolith (aka. "moon dust"). As they illustrate, the Lunar Lander base is equipped to contain (and benefit from) this problem:
