Some have said that it would be hard for NASA to terminate its HLS contract with SpaceX.

But SpaceX’s lack of specific performance in reaching many key milestones needed to support an Artemis III landing in 2027 opens the door to such a termination.

NASA Boss Sean Duffy Resets NASA Moon Lander

NASA's HLS contract is reopened after NASA's Sean Duffy decides SpaceX's Starship has fallen too far behind schedule to land astronauts on the Moon by Artemis III's launch in 2027.

This decision gives us a chance to beat China to the Moon. Before this decision, China was guaranteed to win the Moon Race.

This is a bit dated, but I briefly worked for SpaceX in California around this time and the accident rates were incredible. Not just minor cuts and bruises. People were maimed and killed.

Just know that the company pays welders, the ones who assemble the stainless steel pressure vessels filled with millions of pounds of methane, about 60% of going rate in Texas

One of the SpaceX fan cams caught a crane collapse at Starbase in Texas. This kind of thing only happens from a completely unacceptable safety culture failure and I'd be shocked if there wasn't a death here

Is Musk at DOGE as a cover for pumping contracts into his companies, such as SpaceX? Musk, a defense and NASA contractor, not only sat in on an Air Force nominee's interview but also in NASA Admin nominee ⁦‪Jared Isaacman‬⁩’s interview.

FL will win a NASA’s HQ contest. FL’s state, congressional leaders, and SpaceFL are dedicated to KSC. Abbott let whither his aero commission years ago and only re-created a space comm’n a year ago. Other than Rep. Babin, Space is a non-issue to TX leaders.

Congratulations to Blue Origin on its successful inaugural launch of Blue Origin’s New Glenn launch vehicle. Here’s to many more New Glenn missions!

What isn’t being considered is a delay for launching Artemis III due to the lack of a lunar lander.

Hearing a lot of background chatter that changes may be coming to Artemis III’s mission.

AmericaSpace.com has joined BlueSky and all of us could not be happier to be moving away from X, formerly known as Twitter. What a refreshing change.
