These scenarios are not guarantees. They show the most likely path, the upside path, and the downside path based on the evidence available now.
The most likely path, plus upside and downside
NASA maintains the current momentum with successful follow-up missions, leading to a steady flow of funding and interest from private aerospace firms.
Significant technological advancements emerge from collaborations with private firms, leading to breakthroughs in lunar habitation and resource utilization, increasing investment rapidly.
Technical challenges or budget constraints stall progress on subsequent missions, resulting in reduced funding and interest from private investors.
