  "account": "Human Exploration Architecture is NASA's strategy for the crewed exploration of deep space. When people think of architecture, they typically imagine structures like skyscrapers, cantilevered homes, or museums. However, in this context, architecture refers to the elements necessary for long-term, human-led scientific discovery in deep space.\n\nNASA's architecture approach breaks down agency-developed objectives into operational capabilities and elements that support scientific goals. By collaborating with experts from across the agency, industry, academia, and the international community, NASA continuously refines its blueprint for crewed exploration, guiding humanity towards the Moon, Mars, and beyond.\n\nThe architecture definition encompasses current and historical products that outline NASA's systems and capabilities aimed at achieving exploration of deep space.",
  "summary": "What is Architecture? When most think of architecture, they envision skyscrapers, cantilevered homes, or marbled museums. In this case, architecture isn’t the built environment. It isn’t a mission, a manifest, or a set of requirements. Instead, NASA’s human exploration architecture defines the elements needed for long-term, human-led scientific discovery in deep space. NASA’s architecture…",
