US Edition¿Está perdiendo la NASA la carrera lunar? La mirada está puesta en el lanzamiento de un megacohete este lunes
The test flight will demonstrate critical upgrades to Starship's heat shield and landing system as NASA aims to meet its mid-2027 Artemis III lunar landing goal.
- On Monday, Flight 11 will launch SpaceX's Starship from Boca Chica, southern Texas, marking the final Block 2 test before upgrading to Version 3 and a new pad.
- Artemis III's mid-2027 target frames the risk as NASA plans to use Starship, relying on unproven super-cooled propellant refuelling requiring many tanker launches.
- Flight 11 will test reinforced heat shield upgrades and a novel five-engine burn on the Super Heavy booster , while deploying eight dummy Starlink satellites with Ship 38 on a suborbital profile.
- A successful Flight 11 would reinforce Starship's crewed-lander prospects and sustain SpaceX's rapid launch momentum, validating NASA's choice for Artemis III.
- Advisory panels and experts say the timeline is strained, with NASA's Aerospace Safety Advisory Panel warning Artemis III may be years late amid China National Space Administration's advances, a pressure Sean Duffy calls the `Second space race`.

¿Está perdiendo la NASA la carrera lunar? La mirada está puesta en el lanzamiento de un megacohete este lunes
Por Jackie Wattles, CNN Las llamadas para que Estados Unidos lleve astronautas a la Luna antes de que termine la década han sido cada vez más fuertes y frecuentes, provenientes tanto de legisladores bipartidistas como de defensores de la ciencia. Pero, detrás de ese clamor, hay dificultades de proporciones épicas. La NASA planea usar Starship de SpaceX —el sistema de cohetes más grande jamás construido— para una parte clave del viaje lunar, pero…
