En 1969, l\u2019astronaute Neil Armstrong est devenu la premi\u00e8re personne \u00e0 mettre les pieds sur la Lune, en faisant \u00ab un bond de g\u00e9ant pour l\u2019humanit\u00e9 \u00bb. C\u2019\u00e9tait la toute premi\u00e8re fois qu\u2019un \u00eatre humain marchait sur une autre surface que celle de notre plan\u00e8te. Jusqu\u2019en 1972, pas moins de onze autres astronautes ont march\u00e9 sur la Lune avant que les missions lunaires habit\u00e9es ne soient abandonn\u00e9es. Aimeriez-vous voir ces missions reprendre ?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

L\u2019exploration de la Lune a continu\u00e9 apr\u00e8s le d\u00e9part des astronautes, mais nous avons pr\u00e9f\u00e9r\u00e9 y envoyer des robots plut\u00f4t que des personnes. Des sondes contr\u00f4l\u00e9es \u00e0 distance et une flotte de satellites nous ont permis d\u2019obtenir de nouvelles informations sur notre voisine de l\u2019espace. Nous avons appris qu\u2019il nous restait encore beaucoup de choses \u00e0 explorer sur la Lune mais, pour ce faire, des astronautes seront \u00e0 nouveau requis !<\/p>\n

Un probl\u00e8me majeur se pose n\u00e9anmoins : envoyer des humains sur la Lune co\u00fbte tr\u00e8s cher. En d\u00e9pit des avanc\u00e9es technologiques que nous avons r\u00e9alis\u00e9es depuis l\u2019\u00e9poque de Neil Armstrong, notre retour sur la Lune serait si co\u00fbteux que cette id\u00e9e n\u2019a encore jamais \u00e9t\u00e9 concr\u00e9tis\u00e9e. L\u2019ESA aimerait aujourd\u2019hui changer les choses.<\/p>\n

L\u2019id\u00e9e de l\u2019ESA ne consisterait pas \u00e0 construire de nouveaux vaisseaux ou \u00e9quipements - que ce soit elle-m\u00eame ou en collaboration avec d\u2019autres agences spatiales - mais plut\u00f4t de s\u2019associer avec des entreprises de la Terre. Si de grands groupes industriels construisaient des vaisseaux capables de rejoindre la Lune, l\u2019ESA se conterait de payer pour le trajet... \u00e0 la mani\u00e8re d\u2019un taxi de l\u2019espace !<\/p>\n

L\u2019ESA souhaite \u00e9galement aider des entreprises \u00e0 d\u00e9velopper des outils et des technologies qui nous permettraient de construire des bases habitables sur la Lune. Et si jamais nous parvenions \u00e0 exploiter des ressources lunaires, le co\u00fbt des voyages de la Terre \u00e0 la Lune diminuerait de mani\u00e8re significative. Imaginez que nous puissions un jour collecter l\u2019eau cach\u00e9e sous les roches lunaires : ce serait tr\u00e8s utile !<\/p>\n

Ce plan n\u2019est qu\u2019un commencement. Si les entreprises de la Terre venaient \u00e0 d\u00e9velopper une nouvelle g\u00e9n\u00e9ration d\u2019\u00e9quipements d\u2019exploration lunaire, nous pourrions \u00e0 terme utiliser ces solutions pour explorer d\u2019autres mondes de notre syst\u00e8me solaire - comme des plan\u00e8tes, d\u2019autres lunes, des com\u00e8tes ou des ast\u00e9ro\u00efdes. Une nouvelle \u00e8re de missions spatiales serait alors lanc\u00e9e !<\/p>\n

L\u2019ESA travaille actuellement avec plusieurs entreprises pour concr\u00e9tiser ces id\u00e9es. Pensez-vous que cela permettrait de r\u00e9duire les co\u00fbts de l\u2019exploration spatiale ? Ach\u00e8teriez-vous un ticket pour visiter la Lune ?<\/p>\n

Fait int\u00e9ressant :<\/b> Some areas near the Moon\u2019s South Pole are almost always in the Sun\u2019s light, meaning that human bases there could use solar panels to make electricity!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
