Artemis Announcement: NASA Selects Human Landing Systems

NASA has selected three American companies – Blue Origin, Dynetics and SpaceX – to design and develop human landing systems for the Artemis program. With these awards, NASA is on track to land the next astronauts on the lunar surface by 2024, and establish sustainable human exploration of the Moon by the end of the decade.

Looks forward to seeing more of these and the final selection.

I'm so glad this is happening in my lifetime, I feel like I'm going to get to witness something very special indeed

[sharkcraft]

I’m just excited for better footage from the lunar surface.

[niddlesgaming]

I think that starship could host a comfortable living environment for astronauts, but I really like dynetics design as well, it looks like it would be a great design

3 teams, hope at least two of them will achieve their goals in time

[Rooples]

Good call with removing the flaps from starship. Means they can shave weight off, because this will likely just be used for going back and forth to the lunar gateway, so they never have to worry about atmosphereic reentry.

im excited for what comes after we solve the logistics of staying on the lunar surface. mining/research projects is gonna launch us into the next stage of our evolution by making us a space faring species

Looking forward to 2024 NASA.

One small step was made. One giant leap was accomplished. Now let’s shoot for the stars!!

As a teenager, I really hope to work for nasa some day, and I know there are many other teenagers with a passion for space as well. Our generation has hope.

[delawarepilot]

They picked starship. Ok I’m impressed, you must serious about this.

[leen]

That is the coolest thing ever imagine how much stress the astronauts have to go through big respect

[adarshtiwari]

I am from India . congrulations to nasa for their achievement.

[trespire]

Dynetic's low slung design looks like an Eagle from Space 1999.

[shivanshumishra]

I am from India and my dream is to go NASA

One day my friend asked me that what will I join ISRO or NASA

I replied" I have my love to my country but I will join NASA"

[lieselfiebke]

The computer used to send the Apollo missions to the moon had about the processing power Chrome uses to add a period to a sentence. I'm pretty confident that these missions will go a LOT smoother. 😂

[alexman]

Good luck NASA, SpaceX, Dynetics and National Team. Go ahead!

[thedreamwannafly]

I love space and my goal is to became an astronaut . I want join with NASA in future, because in our India percentage is the main problem. Here percentage is important to became an Astronaut not knowledge😥😥😥. I love you NASA💗💗 That reason now my uncle is Scientist of MIT (America)

[fernandodiezgallego]

Last year I read a lot about Apollo project some 50 years ago and I got impressed. What will Artemis be like? May God help us reach the Moon again! I greet all the video visitors from Granada, Spain.

[Pyriphlegeton]

I suppose starship will be tested so rigorously by then that it's the best choice.
