Keeping NASA happy
Congrats to the teams who made progress on today’s flight test.
Spaceflight is a bold adventure demanding a can-do spirit and daring innovation. Today’s test is an opportunity to learn—then fly again.
Together @NASA and @SpaceX will return humanity to the Moon, Mars & beyond. https://t.co/QGjwr45KM1

NASA, which is funding the development of Starship as part of its Artemis program, is keeping close tabs on SpaceX. Writing on X, the space agency’s administrator, Bill Nelson, congratulated the team after the launch, saying; “Together, NASA and SpaceX will return humanity to the Moon, Mars, & beyond.” This latest flight is a super positive sign, but to fair, Elon Musk’s company still has a long way to go before it can use Starship to safely land human beings on the lunar surface.
