This SpringerBrief explores the technological, economic,
physiological, and psychological comparisons between a journey to
the Moon versus a journey to Mars, taking into consideration the
national and international perspectives at play. The author spent
over six years interviewing leading space experts from around the
world to learn why lunar habitats and the creation of a permanent
presence on the Moon are an essential next step to human
exploration and settlement in space. Practical reasons related to
energy, telecommunications and networking, robotic systems, medical
and scientific research, material processing, and more show why it
must be the Moon First and Mars Second. These findings and
recommendations have been adopted by current NASA Administrator Jim
Bridenstine, as well as the current U. S. president. The research
in this text reflects the author's experiences working internally
within NASA Headquarters, the FAA Commercial Spaceflight Office, as
well as the International Space University. It is partially based
on Reneau's award-winning Harvard thesis in conjunction with her
Master's in International Relations.
