After Artemis II, NASA looks to SpaceX, Blue Origin for Moon landings

NASA successfully completed its Artemis II mission, marking the first crewed flyby around the Moon in over 50 years. Following the astronauts' return, the U.S. space agency is looking to SpaceX's Elon Musk and Blue Origin's Jeff Bezos to design lunar landers. NASA aims to send four astronauts on a multi-week mission, with the goal of building a lunar base. Lori Glaze, acting associate NASA administrator, emphasized the need for industry collaboration to achieve the 2028 landing goal.
