#Isaacman said it is important for #SpaceX’s #Starship and #BlueOrigin’s #NewGlenn rocket 🚀 to reach higher launch cadences to support not just Artemis III but many future missions to the lunar 🌙 surface. #NASA is clearly watching both closely.

During Artemis III, the #Orion spacecraft will launch (presumably with four astronauts 🧑‍🚀) on a #SLS rocket. In Earth orbit, they will rendezvous with one or both of NASA’s #HLS (Starship’s upper stage and a modified #BlueMoon lander)

“The goal of #Isaacman is 30 landings in three years”. Only #Firefly’s #BlueGhost 1 mission a year ago was a complete success. The two #IntuitiveMachines landers fell over upon landing. #Astrobotic’s #Peregrine lander malfunctioned hours after launch and was unable to attempt a landing.

There are four #CLPS missions currently scheduled for launch this year: Astrobotic’s Griffin-1, #BlueOrigin’s #BlueMoon Mark 1, Firefly’s Blue Ghost 2 and Intuitive Machines’ #IM3 https://spacenews.com/nasa-considering-sharp-increase-in-robotic-lunar-landings/

#Vast and other commercial #SpaceStation developers are waiting for #NASA to release the final request for proposals. Delays ⏳ in the release of that procurement was one reason for extending the life of the #ISS by two years, to the end of 2032 https://spacenews.com/vast-raises-500-million-for-commercial-space-station-development/

#Trump nominates Isaacman - again. #Isaacman has criticized #Artemis, #NASA’s program to land humans on the #moon, arguing that the current setup is too expensive 💰 and built around a non-reusable rocket https://www.politico.com/news/2025/11/04/trump-nominates-isaacman-nasa-administrator-00636497

Who will be first to #land #people on the #Moon🌙 : #NASA 🇺🇸 , #China 🇨🇳 , #India 🇮🇳 or private #tourists 💰 💵 ?
"Initial flights are expected in the mid-2020s, carrying commercial astronauts and wealthy #space tourists such as Jared #Isaacman, Yusaku #Maezawa, and Dennis #Tito, the latter two on circumlunar flybys" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SpaceX_Starship#Variants
The #Moon surface #gravity is about one-sixth of #Earth's (making it way easier to #land) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon
