Should Starship Have Manual Control? | This Week in Spaceflight

NASA has given the green light for Artemis II, polling "GO" after a successful flight readiness review, clearing the path for the first crewed lunar mission in over 50 years with a target launch no earlier than April 1. Amid ongoing tensions with SpaceX on Starship's Human Landing System design—including manual control implementation, vehicle height risks, and elevator reliance—an OIG report highlights challenges but urges resolution to keep Artemis IV on track for 2028. This week also brought fresh DART insights revealing the kinetic impact subtly altered the binary asteroid system's solar orbit, Blue Origin's NEO Hunter planetary defense concept blending ion beam deflection with kinetic impactors, and progress across the industry: Blue's New Glenn upper stage hot-fire, Relativity's Aeon engine tests and Terran R infrastructure, RFA shipping stages to SaxaVord for RFA One's debut, Vast's Haven-1 payload approval, NASA's Dragonfly rotorcraft integration start, Stoke's Andromeda engine milestone, and more—from PLD Space's recovery advancements to the latest launch roundup and next week's schedule. ⚡ Become a member of NASASpaceflight's channel for exclusive discord access, fast turnaround clips, and other exclusive benefits.
