Apollo 9 sent three NASA astronauts into Earth’s orbit for 10 days as a test flight before the Apollo 11 mission – the flight that brought Earth’s first humans to the Moon. The Apollo 9 voyage included commander James Mc Divitt, module commander Davit Scott, and lunar module pilot Rusty Schweickart, who together departed Earth on March 3, 1969. Before 10 days on board orbit of the Earth they had to complete 151 trips around the Earth.

Renowned conspiracy theorist, Scott C Waring, analyzed images from NASA astronauts and discovered what he believes to be a fleet of UFOs pᴀssing by the Moon. According to Mr. Waring, the fleet of UFOs is up to 10 km long. Writing on his blog, he said: “UFOs about 2-3 km long have been seen and reported by pilots and other witnesses, myself having reported UFOs in NASA pH๏τographs on the surface of the sky. The moon is about 10 kilometers long from a nearby crater.”

Many people believe that the images received are caused by a malfunction, a scratch of a cheap lens. However that is not possible, NASA only buys the highest quality and highest performing parts for observation. Some conspiracy theorists suggest that the Moon could be colonized by aliens, and this is the reason NASA hasn’t returned since the Apollo missions ended in the 1970s.

Now, NASA thinks it’s done business on the Moon satellite and wants to establish a permanent base on the Moon, with special missions hoping to take place in 2024. NASA board member Jim Bridenstine announced he wanted to establish a lunar colony, calling on the best facilities of American industry to help design and develop lunar landers for human. The base will be used as a checkpoint between Earth and Mars and allow astronauts to study the Moon in detail.

“After returning humans to the Moon in 2024, NASA plans to establish a permanent lunar exploration by 2028,” NASA said.

Gaining new experiences on the Moon will be a stepping stone for NASA to send the first humans to Mars in the mid-2030s. NASA is expected to select new astronaut candidates by mid-2021 to begin digging. form Artemis’ next-generation astronaut class.
