About this deal

Neptune in Pisces is forming a strong sextile to Pluto retrograde in Capricorn. Intuition may be guiding us, but the nature of Pluto is to undermine all things that are out of date. Pluto's retrograde can also unearth discoveries. We may learn some new information from our past. This time round, Nasa wants to do things differently. The Moon is part of a bigger ambition to explore deep space, including Mars, so part of the plan is to establish a lunar outpost. In addition to protecting against the extremes in temperature, radiation, and seismic activity, one of the chief concerns is the hazard posed by all the jagged and statically charged lunar regolith (aka. "moon dust"). As they illustrate, the Lunar Lander base is equipped to contain (and benefit from) this problem: NASA has proposed two lunar surface transportation systems: a lunar terrain vehicle (LTV) and a mobile home and office referred to as a habitable mobility platform.

Power will be an issue in permanently shadowed craters. One way to get it in is by concentrating sunlight using mirrors mounted on a crater rim. “You take one of those mirrors and actively point it down at your rover,” says John Thornton, chief executive of Astrobotic. The Russians are currently looking into the feasibility of a base at Malapert Mountain in this region. The administration cited Chinese lunar ambitions while justifying the return date of 2024. Some observers think space-faring nations like the US, China and Russia will need to coordinate lunar exploration to navigate murky legal waters over who owns lunar resources.Do you have days when you feel exhausted, close to burn out and like you want to hide away from the world? The purpose of the Gateway is really as a waystation to get to the surface of the Moon and push on to Mars,” says Pete McGrath, director of global sales and marketing for Boeing’s space exploration division. To protect these habitats against micrometeoroid strikes and radiation, robots could 3D-print hard outer shells that could sit over the habitats. Lunar “soil”, or regolith, could even be used as the building material. “It’s an easy construction method, and can be done rapidly,” says Philip Metzger. printing specialist D-Shape introduced the idea of 3D printing habitations on the Moon. And now ESA is in consultation with D-Shape and architects Foster Partners about the possibility of creating a large-scale infrastructure on the Moon by 3D printing it using lunar soil as the raw material. Inside a bench-top oven, the ilmenite is heated to extract oxygen, which is combined with hydrogen to get water.

Jupiter in Taurus is in a tight sextile to Saturn retrograde in Pisces. We may be encouraged to let go of some preconceived notions. Whether we do let go, is up to us. But it can't hurt to, at the very least, explore the whys of our beliefs. Do we believe them because of what we have been told by others, i.e. what our parents told us based on their beliefs? Or do we believe them because of societal norms? Or did our life experience form the belief, but now there's a question about that experience? Regardless of the reason, we are likely to learn more now that Jupiter and Saturn are working together to open up some fresh and new perspectives. That was in December 1972, when the departing Apollo 17 mission brought down the curtain on three years of daring and audacious manned space exploration during which 12 people left their historic footprints in the lunar dust.
