NASA aims to send a human mission to the moon in 2028 – which would be the first time humans have traveled there since 1972.

The space agency said it was "about to accomplish more than we have ever done before," while President Trump unveiled a new budget.

The budget, $ 705 million less than last year, "will continue to build the key elements of the exploration campaign that will send astronauts to the moon and beyond," NASA said.

The budget includes a new space station "Lunar Gateway" that will orbit around the moon by the mid-2020s, as well as the budget of a manned mission on the moon by 2028.

"For the first time in more than 10 years, we have in this budget money for a return to the moon with humans," said NASA administrator Jim Bridenstine.

"I'm talking about landing gear classified as human, compatible with Gateway, able to come and go on the surface of the moon.

"The moon is the testing ground; Mars is the goal on the horizon. "
