NASA is reevaluating SpaceX�s role in returning U.S. astronauts to the moon, citing delays in Elon Musk�s Starship program. Acting Administrator Sean Duffy said Monday the agency will reopen SpaceX�s $2.9 billion lunar lander contract to new bidders, warning, �We�re in a race against China � and we can�t afford to lose.� The move marks a major shift from NASA�s 2021 plan to rely solely on SpaceX for the Artemis III mission, now targeted for 2027. Duffy said other companies, including Jeff Bezos� Blue Origin, will be invited to submit �acceleration plans� to help get Americans back on the�moon�faster.
