Open on XBerger ranked the poll options (Starship, Blue Moon, Lanyue) as his personal most-to-least likely order for the next crewed lunar lander. Starship leads in his view due to SpaceX's rapid iteration: it reached orbit in 2026, has high flight cadence potential, and is under NASA contract with Artemis III docking tests in 2027 and a possible 2028 landing. Refueling remains the key hurdle, but they solve issues fast. Blue Moon is second: Mk1 cargo aims for Q1 2027 (delayed by New Glenn pad issues), with Mk2 competing for early crewed flights via a more conventional design, though development has historically been slower.
Open on X@Starlink - $ASTS depends on @SpaceX to put their satellites in orbit because @blueorigin doesn’t have a launch platform. ASTS depends on their biggest competitor.
Open on XI hope the picked theme has "real photos" from $SPCX fans and the fans of @spacex and spacex has posted on their websites! So awesome.. Those shots of the @Starlink satelights poping out from the Starship Would be even cooler if it could be fed by a SpaceX RSS / X image feed!! @grok @bot @xai
Open on XA delivery from Earth to space, complete with new solar arrays to help power the future. 🚀☀️ What once sounded like science fiction is becoming part of routine life in orbit. Humanity is making incredible progress! 🛰️🌍
