NASA’s “Astronaut Avatars” – Tiny Organ Chips Poised to Protect Artemis II Crew’s Health

SpaceX’s Moon Mission in Jeopardy as NASA Opens Artemis Contract to Rivals

NASA’s surprise move to reopen the Artemis III lunar lander contract marks a dramatic shift in the U.S. return-to-the-Moon effort. Acting NASA Administrator Sean Duffy – who also serves as U.S. Transportation Secretary – revealed on Monday that NASA will no longer rely exclusively on SpaceX for the planned Moon landing mission. “I’m in the process of opening that contract up,” Duffy said, explaining that SpaceX’s development schedule has slipped too muchreuters.com. SpaceX’s Starship rocket was originally slated to carry astronauts from lunar orbit to the surface in late 2025 or 2026, but multiple testing setbacks forced NASA to push the Artemis III landing to 2027reuters.com. Even that timeline now looks tenuous. “We’re going to have a space race in regard to American companies competing to see who can actually get us back to the moon first,” Duffy told Fox News, underscoring that NASA wants competition on the projectreuters.com.
