This year marks a pivotal moment for humanity’s lunar ambitions, as we lay groundwork for a permanent presence on the moon that could serve as an industrial hub, facilitating missions to Mars and beyond.
The growth of a lunar economy hinges on three main pillars: transportation to the moon, the ability to refuel for return journeys, and developing profitable enterprises on the lunar surface.
SpaceX's Starship, significantly larger and reusable, is set to revolutionize lunar travel by carrying about 100 metric tons of payload—transforming the economics of moon missions with a dramatic reduction in cost per ton delivered.
Blue Origin’s Blue Moon lander complements SpaceX's efforts by offering the ability to transport nearly 3 metric tons of equipment and infrastructure, essential for converting the moon into a more accessible environment.
