NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman announced three new Moon missions on May 26, 2026, as the first wave of a $20 billion "Moon Base" program aimed at establishing a permanent human presence on the lunar surface by the early 2030s. The announcement comes amid sweeping proposed cuts to NASA's science budget — a 47% reduction that would terminate over 40 missions — and persistent warnings from the agency's own Inspector General about cost overruns, schedule delays, and unresolved crew safety risks across the Artemis program.
