§ 17732. Lunar outpost
(a)
Establishment
As NASA works toward the establishment of a lunar outpost, NASA shall make no plans that would require a lunar outpost to be occupied to maintain its viability. Any such outpost shall be operable as a human-tended facility capable of remote or autonomous operation for extended periods.
(b)
Designation
The United States portion of the first human-tended outpost established on the surface of the Moon shall be designated the “Neil A. Armstrong Lunar Outpost”.
(c)
Sense of Congress
It is the sense of Congress that NASA should make use of commercial services to the maximum extent practicable in support of its lunar outpost activities.
