NASA launched the Orion spacecraft on a 10-day lunar mission, signaling a shift from legacy contractors to commercial-space companies like SpaceX and Blue Origin to lower costs and support a sustainable moon program. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2026/04/03/nasas-moon-mission/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #nasa #orion #artemis #spacex #blueorigin #boeing #lockheedmartin #northropgrumman #aerojetrocketdyne #falcon9 #starship #moon #space
Is NASA’s moon mission the end for legacy space firms?

The future belongs to the producers of reusable rockets, led by Elon Musk's SpaceX and with Jeff Bezos's Blue Origin scrambling to catch up.
