Pace emphasizes the necessity for a revised Artemis campaign under the new NASA Administrator, advocating for painful adjustments now to avoid unsustainable paths in space exploration. He encourages innovation and suggests using traditional funding as a last resort. While human landings on Mars are not feasible shortly, he believes in the potential of lunar settlements resembling Antarctic research stations, ultimately aiming for humanity's sustainable expansion into the Solar System and becoming a multi-planetary species.
A revised Artemis campaign plan should be a high priority for the new NASA Administrator... it is better to do so now than to continue on an unsustainable, unaffordable path.
In the near-term, lunar settlements might be similar to Antarctic research stations... the vision of becoming a multi-planetary species is certainly an exciting one.
