November 23, 2024 2:27 AM | 2 min read SpaceX’s Starship is also set to launch another LTV rover, FLEX, developed by Venturi Astrolab. NASA has chosen Starship for its first crewed lunar landing under the Artemis 3 mission, scheduled for late 2026. Why It Matters: The selection of SpaceX’s Starship for the lunar mission underscores the company’s growing role in space exploration. Recently, SpaceX unveiled a conceptual image of the Starship Human Landing System (HLS) designed to facilitate the first human landing on the Moon since 1971. This version of Starship will feature landing legs instead of a heat shield and flaps. Additionally, Musk has expressed confidence in SpaceX’s ability to send uncrewed Starships to Mars within two years, potentially carrying Tesla Inc. Cybertrucks and Optimus robots as payloads. Meanwhile, SpaceX’s satellite internet division, Starlink, demonstrated real-time Earth views during Starship’s sixth test flight, showcasing the potential for enhanced space connectivity. While SpaceX is currently a privately held company, investors can leverage Destiny Tech100 Inc. DXYZ to participate in the Musk-led space company’s growth. According to data from Benzinga Pro, DXYZ has gained over 366% year-to-date. Check out more of Benzinga's Future Of Mobility coverage by following this link. Read Next:
