NASA Responds to Possibility of Collaborating with Russia on Lunar Base Project

[NASA does not rule out the possibility of collaborating with Russia to establish a lunar base]

On May 28, 2026, Washington time, Carlos García-Galán, Director of NASA's Lunar Base Project, responded to a question from TASS (Russian News Agency) regarding the possibility of cooperation: "Is it possible for the U.S. to collaborate with Russia to establish a lunar base?"

You know, we are discussing the establishment of a base on the Moon. This is a shared mission for all humanity, so you can never be certain what agreements might emerge or who exactly we will end up working with. We are confident that we won’t be alone in this endeavor.

Lao Liu's supplementary information:

Russia holds absolute advantages in this field, primarily due to its micro-nuclear power station technology, which is essential for establishing a lunar base. It is reported that Putin and Trump discussed this issue during their meeting in Alaska (Anchorage), forming the foundation of the "Russia-U.S. Anchorage Consensus."
