#Isaacman said it is important for #SpaceX’s #Starship and #BlueOrigin’s #NewGlenn rocket 🚀 to reach higher launch cadences to support not just Artemis III but many future missions to the lunar 🌙 surface. #NASA is clearly watching both closely.

During Artemis III, the #Orion spacecraft will launch (presumably with four astronauts 🧑‍🚀) on a #SLS rocket. In Earth orbit, they will rendezvous with one or both of NASA’s #HLS (Starship’s upper stage and a modified #BlueMoon lander)

There followed more than a minute of awkward silence, ended by #Isaacman jumping back in for a “comms check” – and #Trump repeating his stories 🤔😆 https://www.theguardian.com/science/2026/apr/07/trump-artemis-ii-crew-call-nasa-cuts

“The goal of #Isaacman is 30 landings in three years”. Only #Firefly’s #BlueGhost 1 mission a year ago was a complete success. The two #IntuitiveMachines landers fell over upon landing. #Astrobotic’s #Peregrine lander malfunctioned hours after launch and was unable to attempt a landing.

There are four #CLPS missions currently scheduled for launch this year: Astrobotic’s Griffin-1, #BlueOrigin’s #BlueMoon Mark 1, Firefly’s Blue Ghost 2 and Intuitive Machines’ #IM3 https://spacenews.com/nasa-considering-sharp-increase-in-robotic-lunar-landings/
