A realistic picture of a future Moon base is making the rounds: less a sprawling sci-fi settlement, more a remote research and logistics outpost. NASA's phased approach would begin with robotic missions, then add power, cargo, communications and mobility systems, building toward long-duration habitats near the lunar south pole as part of its Artemis-era planning.

Why now: Ongoing interest in NASA's Artemis programme and what a permanent lunar presence would actually look like.
