While some old-space advocates argue that NASA should abandon Starship in favor of a simpler Apollo-style lander, NASA has recently poured cold water on their hopes. The government agency has promptly awarded SpaceX’s Starship a new contract for missions to be carried out by the world’s largest rocket in the future. What benefits will Starship gain from this? What does NASA’s move imply? Let’s find out on today’s episode of Alpha Tech: What NASA just did with SpaceX Starship Shocked whole industry after $23.8 B Moon Rocket Troubles! Last Friday, NASA announced the addition of Starship to its existing NASA Launch Services (NLS) 2 contract with SpaceX, which already includes the Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy rockets. This move paves the way for Starship to potentially undertake NASA’s scientific missions in the future. Of course, that’s contingent on Starship achieving a successful orbital flight and regularly flying with the company’s Starlink payload. “NASA has awarded SpaceX, based in Starbase, Texas, a modification to the NLS 2 contract, adding Starship to their current Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy launch service offerings,” NASA stated. What NASA just did with SpaceX Starship Shocked whole industry after $23.8 B Moon Rocket Troubles! Honestly, the fact that SpaceX’s Starship has secured a NASA contract feels almost routine at this point. After all, SpaceX has been receiving billions of dollars from the U.S. government over the years, with space companies like SpaceX and United Launch Alliance earning mission-specific payments from NASA or the Department of Defense. For example, just in October 2024, SpaceX landed a $178 million contract to launch the Europa Clipper mission using its Falcon Heavy rocket. What’s more intriguing, though, is that Starship has now received a contract modification from NASA at a time when the Artemis program seems to be in disarray, grappling with technical challenges across the vehicles meant to achieve its goals in the coming years. So, does this decision simply boil down to a win for SpaceX’s Starship? === Subcribe Alpha Tech:    / @alphatech4966   ===
