NASA leadership is weighing the risk of lunar meteor strikes as it develops plans for a future Moon base, according to multiple outlets. Mirror and other reports cite NASA boss Jared Isaacman saying the agency is giving the threat “a lot of thought” as it moves ahead, with one source pointing to a 2024 asteroid impact that left a crater about 728 feet wide.
Other coverage frames the issue more broadly as an environmental and planning challenge. The Evening Standard and The Independent say potentially hazardous factors on the lunar surface need to be accounted for by the teams designing an outpost. The Daily Express similarly highlights Isaacman’s view that NASA is actively studying the risk as the Moon base development continues, while Belfast Telegraph’s brief summary offers no additional details.
