Private companies could be landing on the Moon as soon as next year, after NASA announced $3.6 billion worth of contracts to get humans there as soon as possible.
Nine firms will compete for the contracts to deliver science and technology experiments to the lunar surface, with NASA allowing the companies to work out the details of getting there.
The tests will help speed up progress towards long-term scientific study and human exploration of the Moon and Mars.
Fancy going to the Moon next year??
