WASHINGTON - Nasa on Thursday awarded almost US$1 billion in contracts to three space companies including those owned by Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos to develop lunar landers as the United States seeks to return human beings to the Moon.
The three will compete against each other over the contract period, ending February 2021, when Nasa will decide which of them will have an opportunity to perform demonstration missions. "This is the first time since the Apollo era that Nasa has direct funding for a human landing system, and now we have companies on contract to do the work for the Artemis programme."
They better start building 'igloo's' there, if they wanna jump shot from there to Mars.
Looks like Amazon will soon be delivering to the moon using Tesla spaceships. 🤔🤔
