Dr. Joel Kearns, the deputy associate administrator for exploration in NASA’s Science Mission Directorate and a key figure in NASA’s CLPS initiative, recently addressed a crowd at an event. Kearns humorously remarked, 'Science never sleeps, as you can tell because you’re here.'


He highlighted the significant progress being made by Firefly on the Blue Ghost mission. This mission is a part of the CLPS initiative, which aims to facilitate lunar exploration. Kearns emphasized that the work being done on Blue Ghost will play a crucial role in preparing the United States to send astronauts to new locations on the moon.
