The first American manned lunar base will be deployed in the early 30s. This was stated by the head of the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Jared Isaakman.
The United States plans to deploy the first habitable base on the Moon by 2032. This will be preceded by several lunar missions, which will prepare for the start of lunar exploration. There are three stages planned in total: the first one is already underway and will last until 2029. The second stage runs from 2029 to 2032, followed by the third stage starting in 2032 with an undisclosed deadline.
At the first stage, NASA will send several unmanned missions to the Moon, three of them only by the end of this year. The first mission assigned to Blue Origin will deliver instruments for studying the Earth's surface to the satellite. During the second landing module, Astrobotic will deliver an unmanned lunar rover developed by Astrolab. The third mission, using the Intuitive Machines module, will deliver exploration equipment to the Moon, as well as other payloads.

In the second phase, which starts in 2029, NASA will create an infrastructure for life on the Moon. A temporary presence of people is planned. Starting in 2032, it is planned to establish a permanent presence of lunar crews on the lunar station with periodic rotation.
