SpaceX to work on 'simplified' Starship after NASA reopens lunar lander contract
Update: 2025-11-04
Description
SpaceX unveils a simplified plan for its Starship rocket to land astronauts on the moon, aiming to beat other nations in the lunar race. Despite concerns about falling behind schedule, SpaceX insists it's on track, with a key milestone being the refueling of Starship's upper stage in orbit. This could enable Starship to carry up to 100 tons of cargo to the lunar surface, potentially starting a permanent base. Meanwhile, NASA opens the lunar lander contract to other contenders, with Artemis program and Starship flight tests in the spotlight for future American moon missions.
