This year, as we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the first human landings on the Moon, we also look forward to an exciting future in human space exploration. New technologies, new visions, and new capabilities are inspiring new generations of explorers, enabling us to develop ambitious, exciting plans for travel to deep space destinations.

Where are we going to go?

How are we going to get there?

How will what we learn in space improve our lives right here on planet Earth?
