NASA and SpaceX want Starship HLS to take huge payloads—and eventually astronauts—to the Moon and beyond. To do that, they’re betting big on in-orbit refueling. But what if there’s another way? More than sixty years ago, scientists had an idea way ahead of its time—a massive lunar lander that could carry tons of cargo to the Moon in one go, no refueling needed. Now imagine bringing that concept back, but upgraded with Starship’s modern tech. What if adding just one more stage could turn Starship into a bigger breakthrough? Could this simple idea change the future of space travel? Why are both NASA and SpaceX still hesitant? Let’s find out—in today’s Techmap episode. Elon Musk SHOCKED NASA and China with New Method to Launch Starship to the Moon! Things probably started off in the late 1950s and early 1960s, when Wernher von Braun and his team at NASA began sketching out some audacious ideas for how humans might travel to the Moon. Among them were concepts for a family of enormous rockets, even more powerful than the Saturn 5 that would eventually carry Apollo astronauts to the lunar surface. These proposals included lunar landers far larger and more capable than the Apollo Lunar Module. Von Braun envisioned spacecraft that could ferry 10 to 20 astronauts and as much as 60 tons of cargo to the Moon—vehicles designed to lift off from the surface without leaving parts behind in lunar orbit. The central idea was “direct ascent”: launch a single, massive spacecraft straight from Earth to the Moon, no docking or orbital refueling required. It’s a fascinating concept. And it raises a natural question—given Starship’s scale and power, could SpaceX essentially build a Nova-class rocket today? The answer is complicated: both yes and no. Elon Musk SHOCKED NASA and China with New Method to Launch Starship to the Moon! To conduct a direct-ascent mission, a launch vehicle must carry all of its fuel and payload in one go. That demands staggering lift capacity. Nova was designed as a three-stage rocket, only a few meters taller than Saturn 5 but much broader—15 meters in diameter compared to Saturn’s 10. By contrast, Starship measures just 9 meters across. Yet its modern Raptor engines produce more total thrust than Nova’s enormous F-1s ever would have. Nova’s first stage was expected to use eight F-1 engines, generating roughly 13.9 million pounds of thrust (6,960 ton-force). Super Heavy, in its Version 2, exceeds that at about 8,240 tons of force. Nova’s second stage, powered by eight J-2 engines, would have delivered 1.86 million pounds of thrust—less than half of what Starship’s upper stage now achieves with six Raptors.
