NASA Awards Nearly $1 Billion to SpaceX, Blue Origin and Dynetics for Moon Missions

May 2nd, 2020

Via: CBS:

SpaceX and teams led by Dynetics and Blue Origin won NASA contracts Thursday totaling nearly $1 billion to develop lunar landers that could carry astronauts back to the moon as early as 2024 and support sustained, long-term operations by 2028 under the space agency’s Artemis program.

“With these contract awards, America is moving forward with the final step needed to land astronauts on the moon by 2024, including the incredible moment when we will see the first woman set foot on the lunar surface,” NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine said in a statement.

    I’d feel more comfortable with the image of the SpaceX moon landing if it featured some struts.

    Yeah Dennis–I’m thinking the Leaning Tower of Pisa idea you get when viewing the image is the unspoken reason SpaceX bagged the smallest contract award.
