In two years, NASA plans to land humans on the Moon! NASA’s Artemis Program, which will establish a permanent human presence on the Moon, is currently underway. It has 4 main components: The space launch system, or SLS, which will launch astronauts into orbit. The Orion spacecraft, which will transport them to and from the Moon. The human landing system, which will transport them to and from the lunar surface. And Gateway, a space station that will support ground operations.
Already, Artemis 1, which launched in November 2022, has successfully demonstrated the SLS and Orion, by sending an un-crewed Orion around the Moon and back to Earth. The next mission, in 2024, will launch astronauts around the Moon and finally, in 2025, they will land on the surface. After this, many more missions will establish a permanent human lunar presence, serving as a stepping stone to Mars and other destinations even further into the solar system!

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]

@@tvre0 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.

[@humming8013]

There's a chance we might get to Mars before 2050 through private companies or if NASA's plans go through without any problems. Which I personally hope is the case

[@mymixedbiscuit9159]

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

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 think that the Artemis program will only follow the plan through Artemis III. The SLS rocket for that mission is probably mostly built by now. The program has been plagued with delays and cost overruns so there will be a lot of skepticism in Congress for funding the development of Block 1B. If Starship is flying regularly and the HLS program goes to plan there will be discussion of just launching humans on it from Pad 39A to the moon.

Cost over runs??? If humanity quits going to war all the time, we could collectively afford to explore outer space.

They already know how to shoot a projectile a long distance, but instead of shooting a projectile terestrialy, to kill human beings and humanity, they could put human beings inside the projectile, and shoot them extraterrestrially, eventually saving humanity.

7:30 The question is, is it really the Starship that docks to Gateway?

[@eleventy-seven]

The gateway has not been built. It probably wont. This whole plan is FOS. Just a congressional ATM

You went crazy with this one man!! 🔥🔥 please keep it up this is quality content 👌

[@SasukeUchiha-in8ce]

9:40 small correction, thats the falcon heavy not the falcon 9. Anyways, great video!

[@dgj5813]

Moon dust is like a fine glass powder that grinds up space suits. Meteors constantly pound the dark side of the moon which can’t be seen from earth due to rotation speed , amazing coincidence.

[@RedNumber19]

I wouldn’t be surprised if gateway became a permanent habitat and research station. Like the ISS, but for the moon.

[@IvanPlayStation4LiFe]

it will

[@cheezballz8146]

That would be cool, one sad thing I recently learned though is that the ISS is not permanent and is going to crash down to earth in 2031 :(

[@reidrandolph6598]

Really good video, super clear and informative.

[@EugenethePhilostopher]

1-year long stay on the Moon sounds like a great idea. Until you realize that people are going nuts even living for ~ half a year in Antarctica. And, mind you, it's a bit closer to civilization than the Moon, and you can even walk outside with no pressure suit there.

Hey man, interesting video I enjoyed the information, but please work on your cadence and inflections.

[@alexanderx33]

It makes more sense to leave old HLS starships docked to gateway to provide dramatically more habitable volume than it does to dispose of them by sending them to a heliocentric orbit.

[@lihboidasanstr8fyre228]

I’m pretty sure if nasa wasn’t so hesitant after the challenger launch we’d be at mars by now.

12:06 Artemis I actually launched at 1:47am, but otherwise great video.

[@mazdaman0075]

The HLS (Starship) sure looks pretty "tippy" to me. Apollo 15 landed 11 degrees from the horizontal, I wonder how HLS would handle that ? I'm still stunned the lander contract didn't go to one of the other two entries as they both looked like more conventional landers - less height and more width.

[@hollyriver22171]

I know nothing about any of this but that was my initial instinct when I saw how tall and thin it was. Have they explained their rationale for using it in depth?

[@geohiekim8705]

A lot of the weight of a starship is the engines and propellant/fuel. those will naturally be at the bottom, meaning that the CoM is far lower than it looks like.

[@BFAO1621]

simple...starship can carry more and its more likely overtime to be reusable. that alone makes the artemis program sustainable. reality is without starship, artemis isn't sustainable at all...it will literally be almost has expensive has the apolo program, which is something NASA does not want! plus, ever heard of self leveling legs? height and width means nothing has long as it performs has expected, plus the ohter lander's have plenty of problems which also evolve height and width...so its not just a spacex problem!

[@mazdaman0075]

@MF Nickster True but those surfaces were flat and hard surfaces (both the landing pads at the launch site and the unmanned barges at sea). Plus none of the landing first stages of Falcon were manned. As we know from the Apollo landings the moon is neither flat nor hard. I'm certainly not saying SpaceX can't do it as they've proved in the past they can work out bugs pretty quickly. However they've only got 2 years (Artemis III is currently scheduled to land on the moon in 2025) to get it human rated.

[@gunternetzer9621]

@@mazdaman0075 Indeed, there were some hairy landings on Apollo but the superb design of the LM and the astronauts skills saved the day. I don't wish to be disparaging but is this generation of astronaut in the same league as Armstrong, Shepard and Conrad? Perhaps they don't quite need to be.

What if the unproven Starship fails? What are they goingto use in place of it?

[@MichaelClark-uw7ex]

Can't get to the surface without a lander. How many years away is the lunar lander?

[@mymixedbiscuit9159]

This is why everybody freaks out over Starship. It will be used as a lunar lander for Artemis 3 (modified version) and they really need to be picking up the pace for any hope of Artemis III making it in 2025 or 2026. They need to do 1-2 launches in 2023. Then another 5-10 launches through early-mid 2024. Then they need to do a complex mission of transferring fuel in Low Earth Orbit in 2024, maybe Q4 Then another 5-10 launches to demonstrate safety leaving 2024 and entering 2025 At this point you'll start getting those sweet oh sweet missions to deep space or the moon, namely Polaris III which will be the first manned Starship mission, Artemis 2, and DearMoon. None of this will specifically land on the moon, though. The final boss is basically a repeat of Artemis 1 using Starship, but they actually land. SpaceX will have to demonstrate Starships safety in deep-space by making it go to the moon. This needs to be done in 2025, giving more than a year after that for prep to be made. For Artemis 4, Blue Origin has actually been chosen to develop their New Glenn rocket and use some form of that I believe as a lunar lander. But right now, the focus is on Starship. Artemis III depends on it.

[@EBalagot007]

travelling to Mars might be possible probably in the 2040's but beyond that going to the outer solar systems moons like Titan, Europa might take awhile as these missions really costs a lot of money and the dangerous journey going there

going to europa and all those other planets and celestial bodies probably won't even be in this century, or at least anything meaningful :(

The Apollo program was really amazing. 7 starts heading to the moon for landing and all but one (Apollo 13) did succeed and all executed in 4 years time. The Artemis timeline is very slow compared with Apollo. The SpaceX lander looks very risky to land on the uneven moon surface, it will tip over and create a tragedy I fear if the ratio of height to width do not change.

[@marcuslindberg5776]

Great video, the end was a bit ridicolous but overall great and informative

I think they're doing things much different than NASA is with SLS.... but then again, SpaceX wasn't landing rockets in 2004 when all this was put in motion....I think if they were, and the costs were lower, a lot of stuff would be different today....
