We need to invest big time in this capability.

From the article:
"As late as August, the 134 full-time crew were still preparing for their traditional role assisting in the resupply of the McMurdo Station on Ross Island, close to the Antarctic continent.

That mission was scuttled by the National Science Foundation as the coronavirus pandemic prompted research to be cut back and restrictions put in place to reduce the risk of the virus reaching there."

This is part of a Cold War "Doomsday Plan" to ensure (American) humanity isn't entirely wiped-out.
