You could call it the final frontier in gender equality.

Though 12 men have set foot on the moon, no woman has yet taken that giant leap.

But under extraordinary plans set out today, the world’s superpowers will come together to make it happen.

And not content to stop there, they will also build a permanent base on its surface and then travel to Mars.

Science minister David Willetts claims Britain can help bring the US, Europe and China together to take space travel into its next phase.

Mr Willetts said Stevenage – the home of Space City, which makes a quarter of the world’s satellites – would be ‘at the heart of the global space effort’.

Last year, republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich promised that if he won, America would have a permanent base on the moon by the end of his second term.

The 12 men who have set foot on the moon have all been American, but the last one was 41 years ago.

Mr Willetts predicted that it will actually be the Chinese who next return humans to the moon.
