Who Will Win the Moon Race? Elon Musk’s SpaceX vs. Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin
NASA has contracted SpaceX and Blue Origin for landing systems to transport astronauts from lunar orbit to the Moon's surface, starting with Artemis III.
The cargo variants are predicted to carry 26,000- 33,000 pounds of payload to the Moon on missions no earlier than Artemis VII.
NASA emphasizes the necessity of being able to land not only astronauts but also significant equipment like pressurized rovers on the Moon for science and exploration missions.
