The deep space gateway is a planned lunar-orbit space station, that will have a power and propulsion system, a small habitat for the crew, a docking capability, an airlock, and logistics modules. It is intended to be signed off next year and would be used as a staging point for lunar exploration and as a staging station for the proposed deep space transport, which is a concept of a reusable vehicle that uses electric and chemical propulsion and would be specifically designed for crewed missions to destinations such as Mars. What are your thoughts? Should we have a permanent moon base or is the deep space gateway a good idea? πππ°π #deepspacesparkle #deepspacenine #deepspace #startrek #space #universe #galaxy #ds9 #astrophotography #photography #nasa #artteachersofinstagram #artteacher #nightsky #milkyway #kidsart #elementaryart #telescope #stars #nebula #planets #nightphotography #night #cosmos #canon #astronomy #artist #artclass #art #startrekmemes https://www.instagram.com/p/BnqtWgNHZPs/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=143fxh2qg23s
