National Aeronautics and Space Administration is getting serious about sending astronauts beyond low Earth orbit again. In 2012, the agency examined the possibility of stationing an outpost beyond the far side of the moon as a waystation for exploring the lunar surface and gaining experience needed for reaching Mars. Here, Jones talks about how a cislunar habitat could serve as a training waystation as astronauts prepare for future journeys to Mars.
