Cue conspiracy theorists bleating how ‘we never went in the first place…’ A moon base could be operational by 2022, according to an ambitious plan set out by NASA experts made public on Thursday. The base would cost around $10 billion, a fairly small amount compared to the near $170 billion in today’s prices it cost the US government to finance the Apollo missions that sent 12 men into space. The $10 billion projection includes returning to the lunar surface and establishing the first extra-terrestrial human outpost.
