C͢O͢N͢G͢R͢A͢T͢U͢L͢A͢T͢I͢O͢N͢S͢ to the SpaceX Starship team!! Singularly chosen by NASA for their Human Landing System. “NASA has chosen SpaceX to return us to the moon. I am incredibly excited to be partner with SpaceX in this fantastic endeavor for the Artemis series of missions.” — Lisa Watson-Morgan, NASA’s Human Landing System Program Manager, Video Announcement: https://youtu.be/y-sA3R4MWjA?t=132

Go NASA, Go Artemis, Go SpaceX, Go, Go, Go! From a sustainable human presence on the moon, to Mars and beyond!

“NASA on Friday selected Elon Musk’s SpaceX to build spacecraft that would land astronauts on the moon for the first time since the last Apollo mission.

The contract marks another major victory for the hard-charging company that vaults it to the top tier of the nation’s aerospace companies and solidifies it as one of the space agency’s most trusted partners.

In choosing SpaceX alone, it sent a message that it fully trusts the growing company to fly its astronauts for its signature human exploration program.

In winning the $2.9 billion contract, SpaceX beat out Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin, which had formed what it called a “national team” by partnering with aerospace giants Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman and Draper.”
