Moon 'Logical Next Step' for Trump Milestone in Space, Bigelow Says

If President Donald Trump is serious about making an imprint on U.S. human space exploration during his first, or possible second, term in office, space habitat developer Robert Bigelow has a suggestion: Partner with commercial companies to gain a toehold on the moon. "If [the project is] initiated soon, I believe that Bigelow Aerospace and [other] companies could provide a lunar depot … that would enable NASA and commercial entities access to the moon and cislunar space in a four-year program," Bigelow said, emphasizing the time frame.
