"We learn a lot each time [a launch] happens," Chojnacki said. This continuous learning process is vital for the development of spacecraft that will eventually return humans to the Moon.
Kent Chojnacki noted, "NASA is paying close attention to Starship's test campaign, which has notched five launches so far," highlighting NASA's investment and reliance on SpaceX for upcoming lunar missions.
NASA awarded SpaceX a $4.05 billion contract for two human-rated Starship vehicles, which will play a pivotal role in landing astronauts on the Moon by 2026.
The most recent test saw SpaceX catching the Super Heavy rocket booster mid-air for the first time, showcasing the innovative technology that is key to Starship's development.
