SpaceX is gaining a decent chunk of change for the moon lander. The fixed price contract is $2.9B for landing people and returning them, with a test landing uncrewed first.

Not using the moon, let alone letting the Chinese get first dibs on it, is a tactical blunder which will keep coming back to haunt us. Musk’s often repeated and enthusiastic goal to create a “Moon Base Alpha” belies any narrative that he doesn’t care about getting to the Moon. If anything he thinks many aren’t thinking big enough wrt the Moon. Do people even watch his interviews and talks? (sidenote: autosuggestion wanted me to enter “Moon Base Aloha”. Given aloha means both hello and goodbye I got a chuckle as it would fit the goal of being a way station) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
