With some caveats. SpaceX is competing for the LETS lander and the current Appendix P competition is for a second lander. NASA wanted 2 landers for HLS Option A and they are getting a second one. LETS is planned for 2 landers as well. HLS Starship launches last, with the [DELETED] Starship propellant depot launching first. The up to 8 Starship Tanker flights will refill the [DELETED] Starship propellant depot. After the Dance of the Sky Tankers is done, then HLS Starship launches to refill from [DELETED], before going to the Moon.

[@_mikolaj_]

@@steveaustin2686 SpaceX doesnt have to compete for Sustained Lunar Development, even more, they are forbidden to. Instead their current award is extended under condition lander is upgraded to be more sustainable. And while they will have to compete for invidual missions, they do stay within the program, if everything goes according to the plans. As for the tanker amount, from what ive heard, if my source can be trusted, its still 14. Though personally, i dont think long term for sustainability its the biggest issue. Its how much dv lander itself has beacuse for it to be reusable it needs just a bit more. Plus other upgrades like increasing crew capability from 2 to 4, but tbh, i dont think this will be very hard, you know what i mean

[@steveaustin2686]

@@_mikolaj_ No, SpaceX is not allowed to compete in the Appendix P competition, because they got unopposed consideration for the HLS Option B contract. The Appendix P competition is for getting a second lander to go with HLS. The LETS program is the follow on to both the HLS and Appendix P competitions and is planned for TWO landers. HLS Starship is the heads on favorite to be one of them. From page 27 of the GAO decision to deny the HLS complaints. [DELETED] is apparently at least a propellant depot Starship variant from the context and SpaceX had the GAO redact that info. Added in Musk's payload update (~150t) that was in response to the GAO report and he says that it is up to 8 Tankers to fully refill HLS Starship, depending on HLS Starship's mass. My comments are in () and 8 Tankers at 150 tons each is 1,200 tons. Plus any amount left over when the depot goes to orbit. I doubt SpaceX will be able to get to under 8 Tanker flights. "SpaceX’s concept of operations contemplated ten total launches (down from 16), consisting of: 1 launch of its [DELETED]; 8 launches of its Tanker Starships to supply fuel to [DELETED] (down from 14); and 1 launch of its HLS Lander Starship, which would be [DELETED] and then travel to the Moon." The HLS Starship, even as light as it is, is basically out of propellant when it goes back to lunar orbit after the surface mission is done. For anything more than leaving the NHRO to a heliocentric orbit or landing back on the Moon, it is expected to need to be refilled by one or more tankers. Yeah, that is what NASA said in the Apr 2021 HLS Option A Source Selection Statement (pg 10), that HLS Starship is already fit to hold 4 crew for a landing and already meets or exceeds almost all the LETS requirements.

[@steveaustin2686]

@@imEden0 Incorrect, as the SpaceX plan for Artemis III includes what is apparently a propellant depot from the context. Here is the text from the GAO report denying the HLS Option A complaints from Blue Origin and Dynetics. Page 27, [DELETED] is apparently at least a propellant depot and SpaceX had the GAO redact the info on it. "SpaceX’s concept of operations contemplated sixteen total launches, consisting of: 1 launch of its [DELETED]; 14 launches of its Tanker Starships to supply fuel to [DELETED]; and 1 launch of its HLS Lander Starship, which would be [DELETED] and then travel to the Moon." Musk responded to the GAO report by saying that they info was old and with the ~150 ton payload to LEO, it was up to 8 Tanker flights. So it would then be, 10 total flights with 8 of them being the Tanker flights. The NASA IG said in 2022 that they expect the Artemis III date to slide into at least 2026, possibly from Starship and/or the spacesuits for the landing.

Lies again? Full Moon FNB Money

[@steveaustin2686]

7:56 NASA wanted 2 HLS landers, but the 2020 Congress only gave NASA 1/4 the funding that NASA asked for to get 2 landers. So NASA started the competition for a second lander, that will go along with the HLS Starship. For Artemis III, it is HLS Starship that will take the crew to the surface of the Moon. Artemis IV, will be either HLS Starship under the HLS Option B contract OR the new lunar lander. Artemis V, will be whichever lander isn't used on Artemis IV. Artemis VI+ have yet to be funded, but are expected to swap between HLS Starship and the second lunar lander. Just like Dragon and Cygnus have swapped off taking cargo to the ISS and Dream Chaser is expected to join them in 2023 or 2024. And how NASA wanted Crew Dragon and Starliner to swap off taking crew to the ISS. The current competition is under Appendix P for a second lander. Both that lander, HLS Starship, and others can compete for LETS.

I don't feel like it'll take an entire 30 years just to take humans to Mars. I'd wager my bet as the 2040s. Around the time Artemis 5 is complete, humans should be living and working on the moon and also on Gateway (the lunar space station). It's way cheaper to launch rockets from the moon (less gravity) and gateway will allow human missions to mars. Honestly i'd expect 2025-6 being humans setting foot on the moon again (artemis 3), and 2037ish being mars. edit 2023: changed bet to 2040s

For another example, take manned trips to the bottom of the Mariana Trench-- fifty years lapsed between the first and second attempt. And your 99% fabrication is nonsensical.

Don't worry - they seem to do this every half century. Then they turn around and tell you that they have wasted all of your tax money and "lost" the technology, so they start again some 50 years later. But by then everyone knows that the first project was impossible due to some constraint (like extremely deadly radiation which kills you within hours). But this does not matter, and they will continue with the next trip to "the moon". So rest assured, your children and grand children will see the same project again.

One of the biggest problems are those pesky Van Allen radiation belts. You need shielding but that makes the craft heavier which requires more fuel. I've heard there are already bases on the moon and mars but those are black projects. I wonder if it would be possible to start a civilian project. A hydrogen balloon with a rocket. Once the balloon reaches its maximum height it gets discarded and the rocket ignites. it would travel all the way to the moon and land a rover with a camera. There are also potential non mainstream technologies that could be used. They have the potential of getting a group of people to the moon and back. Imagine building a vacation home on the moon.

[@willoughbykrenzteinburg]

People misunderstand how NASA actually works. There isn't a "NASA factory" where they build rockets. You can think of NASA as a contractor. They don't build anything. They basically just hire personnel. If they want something built (like a space ship to go to the moon), they contract some aerospace company to do it. Like when they landed on the moon, NASA didn't build the lunar lander. A company called Grumman did. There is currently a program that plans to land people on the moon again called Artemis. SpaceX is one of the major contracts for that program, so SpaceX and NASA will be putting man on the moon at the same time - - - because they will be working together to do it. NASA couldn't do it without SpaceX, and SpaceX couldn't do it without the funding they'd be getting from NASA. This is how our space program has ALWAYS operated. There's never been a "NASA factory" where they build space ships. NASA didn't put man on the moon. 400,000 people working for hundreds of companies CONTRACTED by NASA put man on the moon. If everything goes to plan, SpaceX will indeed put man on the moon - - - and they'll do it because NASA paid them to do it. That's how it ACTUALLY works. So NASA and SpaceX will put man on the moon at the same exact time.

It makes me so sad that our world can't just join forces and start hemorrhaging money towards space exploration. Instead, we're worried about made up politics and hating one another. It's really quite sad if you think about it. If we wouldn't have had all these problems and just learned to play nice, we'd been to Mars 20 years ago I bet. Here's hoping we actually all band together one day and start making our species multi-planetary, would love to see it in my lifetime

[@Verbux]

The exact reason we can't 'play nice" is because people have no respect for human history or what kind of creatures we are. We banded together under Christ and miraculously made the biggest empires our human history ever knew. And when our egotism grew and Christ was discarded in favour of infantile rationalism, we stumbled into unprecedented attrocity. There will be no "banding together" until we cast away our hedonism, and we all take up our cross.

[@YungSchmuel]

@@Verbux religion aside, i'm personally not practicing, but with that being said, it's just overall greed. I understand greed is a sin so that can very well tie into your point, but this is much larger than people's religious beliefs in my personal opinion. The sole cause really is just greed

@@YungSchmuel Even if you're unbelieving, sin is a useful framework to understand the worlds problems. But how are you proposing we deal with humans greed?

Gateway is staying in lunar orbit 24/7 and HLS Starship is only there for the landings, currently. So for year round science in lunar orbit, that is why they have Gateway. And for somewhere to park the Orion for longer missions.

[@luther0013]

@@steveaustin2686 exactly not only does Starship not have the power generation capability to function as a space station in NRHO but it would be extremely expensive to refuel a Starship space station over the solar electric drive that Gateway’s PPE has.

[@steveaustin2686]

@@luther0013 Yeah, it could be added to Gateway, but that is easier said than done. Depending on how much HLS Starship masses and the payload to the Moon for the landing, some might be set aside to be used as a module for Gateway. The problem would be Gateway's mass vs the Starship mass. Since Starship would likely outmass the whole of Gateway, or at least equal it, the HLS Starship would need to be fitted with an ion drive and attitude thrusters/gryoscopes to run Gateway. Not to mention another docking port to replace the one it would take. Setting up the tanks to be used as a wet hab area could work as well. HLS Starship already needs to be as light as possible to do the trip to the Moon and land, so there may not be room for all of that. An HLS Starship could supplement Gateway with more cubage, but it won't replace it, as the Gateway elements are already being constructed. The launch contract for the PPE and HALO have already been signed. The others will hitch rides with Orion on the SLS 1B launches for Artemis IV+.

[@aq_ua]
