Blue Origin Eyes Leapfrog Over SpaceX for Artemis 3 Lunar Lander
Blue Origin is advancing its lunar lander program and could potentially beat SpaceX to deliver a lunar landing system for NASA's Artemis 3 mission, especially as SpaceX faces delays with its Starship HLS. Blue Origin's MK1 demonstration mission is expected soon, and its more proven, smaller landers could offer a faster, more reliable alternative for lunar surface missions, possibly accelerating Artemis 3's timeline.
