Rebuilding the company’s pad, or finishing a new one, will likely take at least a year, even with a major effort by #BlueOrigin.
#SpaceX’s #FalconHeavy and #ULA’s #Vulcan vehicles both likely have the lift capacity to push #Mark1 to the Moon 🌙.
It’s now all but certain that a #BlueMoon lander will not be ready for a mission within the next 18 months. #NASA will need to decide whether to wait on Blue Origin or press ahead solely with a #Starship mission
