NASA has made the decision to move forward with SpaceX's Starship lander to bring humans back to the moon for the first time in over 50 years. In this video, I break down the new information NASA released about the 3 proposals, and what went into their decision to pick Starship. I also go over some of the implications this decision has on the space industry as a whole.

I should have more thoroughly described what I meant by “ALPACA cannot land”. What I mean when I say that is it wasn’t able to complete the mission objectives of bringing people from Orion to the surface of the moon and back up to Orion. It is likely that it was able to land on the moon, but was unable to make it back up to Orion. Sorry for the lack of clarity on that part!

Excellent analysis and fantastic video. Some critique: 1. Your analysis largely matched my understanding, but you brought up a couple of points I hadn't considered. Very good. 2. Yes, you could have phrased "ALPACA cannot land" better. Good pinned comment. (So sad that good looking lander fared so poorly.) 3. I've not watched your #2 video yet, but compared to #1 ... Thank you for toning down that background music! It is no longer highly distracting as it was in #1, though I think you'd still benefit from tweaking it down just a touch more. (I'd even suggest that you don't need any background music outside of the intro (and outro, if you wish) -- nothing wrong with your voice that you need to cover up -- but I assume it's a stylistic choice. Fine, but please do keep it this low or lower.) 4. Giving your speaking style, I listed at 1.5X, but even at that your presentation in #1 dragged a bit, taking too long getting to each point (and leaving more time to be distracted by that music!), but your pace here is excellent. This script is much tighter. Great job! 5. Very minor nit-pick. At 20:44 you mention the "Option B" on-ramp. HLS Appendix H Option B was the plan to award followup landing contracts to up to two of the Option A winner. I *think* that instead of amending the terms of Option B, they have tossed that name altogether, and this new solicitation will be under a different name. (But I'm not 100% certain there. Just maybe they are retaining the Option B name ... but I don't think they are.) OK. Off to video #2. .... Woah! 68 minutes! Well, 45 minutes at 1.5X, but I sure hope it's packed with info.

Consider this: A Starship that doesn't need to accommodate ascent fuel basically doubles its living and working space. Just land it and call it a permanent base. (Personally I'd give it some method for laying down on its side so it can be covered in regolith, that being a fantastic way to shield it from all sorts of nasty. But upright has its advantages too. For instance, having solar panels higher off the surface.) Then have a crewed HLS Starship land a hundred meters away and transfer the crew.

For starters that big elevator is impractical for a base (a weekpoint and something that could break). also the expansive engines would be thrown away for that and you would have an empty feul tank under your base (converting it may be possible, but not sure if worth the efford)The starship can also cary entire inflatable bases (way bigger) wich could be deployed on the moon en covert with lunar regolith to protect from micro meteors and radiation. It is designed for transportation and should not be used for transportating bases to the surface and not to become the base (same for a spacestations), because that takes the reusibility away

@@tfan2222 Who says they'd build them the same for making a base? It wouldn't be difficult at all to add internal structures that would make it much stronger. In fact, just building the internal structures necessary as a base would strengthen it considerably. Consider this: a base would have to be insulated. Two inches of lightweight foam on the inside would stiffen the thing considerably. Bulkheads for work spaces, plumbing, electrical conduits. All that stuff adds up to strength. In all honesty, I'd rather fly in a dedicated base version of a Starship than in a regular Starship that depends on pressure for its ability to hold its shape.

I think it’s the right decision based on what we now know though previously I thought the Dynetics solution might have been best based on the first video as what seemed a safer compromise. The other choice simply seems a dead end more appropriate to the 70s/80s and offered no real advancement. Whatever delays or cost overruns the SpaceX solution has it still immeasurably moves forward space flight and if it does work as planned a massive advancement over what other solutions offer. Would be interested to know if the LM Mars lander design might be practical here mind if new entrants were considered later as mentioned.

@@piotrd.4850 The problem is that the established technology and architecture in those previous concepts have proven themselves to be unsustainable. Apollo was canceled because the established architecture was to expensive to justify continued use after interest in further moon landings waned. Its immense cost made it difficult to even leverage much alternative use of Apollo hardware. The only thing that materialized from the Apollo applications program was Skylab. With the current political environment, justifying starting another project like Apollo will be difficult politically. Such a project would be doomed to die once congressional inevitably loses interest. Excessive cost and lack of immediate benefit killed the Apollo Program, Apollo applications program, the space shuttle, Constellation, and will likely do the same to the SLS. Previous solutions and methods have always exploded in cost, killing the project. Something new, radical, and low cost like Starship SLS is required if we actually want to see these projects to fruition.

I absolutely agree that NASA would've picked SpaceX anyway, but let's be clear about the price thing. They didn't have a choice. I'm quoting from the Source Selection Statement here: "While it remains the Agency’s desire to preserve a competitive environment at this stage of the HLS Program, at the initial prices and milestone payment phasing proposed by each of the Option A offerors, NASA’s current fiscal year budget did not support even a single Option A award." "Although SpaceX’s revised proposal contained updated milestone payment phasing that fits within NASA’s current budget, SpaceX did not propose an overall price reduction." If you read the beginning of the statement, what it says on page three is that NASA literally couldn't afford to offer the contract to any of the bidders, and was only able to offer it to SpaceX after SpaceX agreed to shift some of their payments from this year into the future. NASA would have picked SpaceX no matter what, but no amount of negotiating or payment date shifting would have made the other options fit into NASA's current budget. They couldn't have picked any of the other options even if they had wanted to, because they were not allocated enough money from congress. And even in this super happy moment, I think that should remain concerning.

@@B2C2007 There's definitely a "clear opportunity to lead the world in the commercialisation of space". But first of all, Elon and the industry will probably do that at this point with or without the US government. And secondly... relying on Congress to see clearly has always been a bad strategy. The reality is that Starship will be built and flown with or without NASA/Congressional buy-in. But it probably won't go to the Moon without Congressional buy-in. Elon has been fairly clear that he's only interested in the Moon as much as NASA is interested in the Moon. So if Congress isn't there funding a program, Elon will head straight to Mars as fast as he can (my guess is 2030 is about the earliest that a human Starship flight to Mars can get regulatory approval), and we all wait for China to land before anyone returns to the Moon.

You have an analytical mind that can draw valid conclusions from what is there [a rare skill], but also from what is NOT there. This latter element is an even rarer skill, I can tell you. You are also not hidebound by pre-conceived opinions, especially your own, and that is also a hard thing to achieve - I should know. You should be able go a long way in whatever you choose to do, if you can find a career - or careers - that needs/need this sort of thinking. This is excellent stuff. And, by the way, you too see this as a longer political game by NASA to attempt to force more funding.

You missed that part: "Finally, numerous mission-critical integrated propulsion systems will not be flight tested until Blue Origin’s scheduled 2024 crewed mission. Waiting until the crewed mission to flight test these systems for the first time is dangerous, and creates a high risk of unsuccessful contract performance and loss of mission if any one of these untested systems does not operate as planned." BO was willing to turn the first landing on the moon after Apollo into their first integrated test flight in space and thereby risk the mission and lives of the crew. Just stunning. I somewhat doubt that BO´s substantial weaknesses in development, schedule and procurement can be remedied quickly enough to enable the award of Option B. Furthermore, if I interpret the documents correctly, BO would have to design a bigger lander for Option B, thus design it completely from scratch.

Now that Starship is selected, do you think this will accelerate any plans NASA has for a sustainable surface presence? Starship is essentially a mobile, orbital class and surface outpost itself, but since it can carry 100k kilograms to the surface, now NASA can really start thinking of building a real and permanent base. And it can be more than just tin cans and a few solar panels, if Starship ends up being as good as it is which we all have great optimism for.

You will certainly need habs on the surface for experiments and the like, so even after habs are in the ground, Starship would likely still have uses I would think.

That was generally a very good video, but your reading of the "negative mass margin" findings for the Dynetics lander is badly incorrect, which is especially unfortunate because you make the same wrong comment on it a number of times throughout the video. The negative mass margin doesn't mean the vehicle was unable to land on the Moon. It means that the current design was incapable of landing the required mass on the Moon and still returning the astronauts back to orbit with the required propellant margins to allow for below nominal engine performance. I.e. they couldn't do it while meeting the necessary safety requirements. Or, if the problem was bad enough, that they might not have been able to get back to the right orbit at all. But, in all instances, the problem is during the ascent, not the landing. And likely only while meeting the up- and down- mass requirements NASA set for the landers, i.e. if they didn't have to bring so much stuff or take back so many samples, it could do it.
