One of the first and most emblematic conquests of space was the Moon. However, now, companies seem to be very focused on Mars, once they discovered its potential. Still, the Moon has not been forgotten and the Artemis program NASA has yet another new partnership. SpaceX won a billionaire contract with NASA.
The space exploration company won a $ 2.9 billion contract from NASA to send humans to the moon.
SpaceX allies with NASA to conquer the Moon
If holidays on Earth seem boring to you, Elon Musk wants to provide you with a season on Mars. On the other hand, NASA has opened up the opportunity to send humans to the Moon and transport to the ground will be built by SpaceX.
The space exploration company stayed ahead of the Blue Origin, by Jeff Bezos, and da Dynetics Inc., winning a $ 2.9 billion NASA contract for send the astronauts to our natural satellite.
This money will go towards the construction of a spacecraft capable of landing humans on the Moon. According to Lisa Watson-Morgan, a NASA official, SpaceX will have to complete a test flight in order to verify all systems , including a landing on the lunar surface, before the official demonstration.
We must make the next landing as soon as possible. This is an incredible time to be involved in human exploration, for all of humanity.
Steve Jurczyk, NASA's interim administrator, said in a video conference.
Elon Musk wants infinity and beyond
Although it does not hide the desire to send humans to Mars, in order to create a true civilization, for now, SpaceX has been used to strengthen the Starlink satellite system, in addition to other space ones.
As we are seeing, this has not been an easy and hassle-free process. In addition, the prototype of the nave espacial Starship it has been under a blanket of problems, having even exploded more than once. However, these setbacks do not seem to shake the company, Elon Musk, or even its investors.
Therefore, SpaceX's next project appears to be clear and does not involve Mars, but the Moon. Certainly, a landing on the Moon with humans will represent another giant leap for Humanity.
