Elon Musk’s SpaceX and Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin will face off in orbit next year, NASA confirms. ‘As a rocket nerd, it’s going to be pretty awesome’

NASA is moving fast on its plans to build a moon base and return astronauts to the lunar surface in as little as two years. Administrator Jared Isaacman said Friday that the space agency is still on track to launch Artemis III next summer on a docking exercise with Elon Musk’s and Jeff Bezos’ lunar landers. The two-week mission featuring four astronauts will be confined to orbit around Earth — no moon trip this time. The all-important Artemis IV — NASA’s first moon landing by astronauts since Apollo — remains scheduled for 2028, Isaacman said.
