NASA must plan any lunar outpost so it doesn't need to stay occupied to remain usable. It must work as a facility that can also run remotely or on its own for long stretches. The first U.S. outpost on the Moon will be named the Neil A. Armstrong Lunar Outpost.

(a) Establishment. As NASA works to establish a lunar outpost, it must not make plans that require the outpost to be occupied in order to stay usable. Any such outpost must be able to work as a human-tended facility capable of running remotely or on its own for extended periods. (b) Designation. The United States' part of the first human-tended outpost built on the surface of the Moon will be called the "Neil A. Armstrong Lunar Outpost."
