The race back to the moon is heating up! 🚀🌕

SpaceX is targeting an uncrewed Starship lunar landing by late 2027, while Blue Origin is aiming for early 2028. Both landers are expected to be tested during NASA’s Artemis III mission.

Who gets there first?

SpaceX is planning to attempt catching both the Starship spacecraft and Super Heavy booster with its launch tower’s giant arms on its next test flight.

If successful, it would be the first full recovery of an orbital launch vehicle.

Space junk is becoming a bigger problem.🛰️

A Soviet-era satellite launched in 1981 has broken apart in orbit again, adding to the growing threat of orbital debris. With 44,000+ pieces being tracked, keeping space safe is getting harder. 🌎
