Bill Nelson, head of NASA: ‘We want to protect the water on the Moon to prevent China from taking it over’

Bill Nelson is a former Democratic senator, astronaut, and present administrator of the U.S. space agency (NASA). The American is visiting Madrid because Spain has just become the 25th signatory of the Artemis agreements, the political framework for cooperation that will lay the groundwork for peaceful exploration of the Moon and other celestial bodies in the coming decades. After meeting with Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez at the Moncloa Palace, and signing the document with the Minister of Science Diana Morant, Nelson gave a joint interview to EL PAÍS and El Mundo at the U.S. Embassy.
