WASHINGTON: The European Space Agency is planning a village on the moon to replace the International Space Station orbiting earth that looks like it has come straight from the Teletubbies.
Professor Jan Woerner, the future head of the ESA, said construction could start on ‘Lunarville’ to replace the station in 2024 and would spark huge innovations.
‘The construction of a station on the moon would trigger a huge surge of technological innovation on earth.
The back side of the moon, which we can’t see from earth, would provide the best conditions for research where telescopes could be set up to have an undisturbed view into the depths of space.
