Today we are talking SpaceX's Human Landing System and what mission options are possible. We look a little deeper into NASA and SpaceX’s plan to bring us to the moon for a more permanent venture. We’ve not seen a human presence on the lunar surface since 1972 but all of that is about to change. After NASA chose SpaceX as their sole provider of the human landing system or HLS for short, space enthusiasts such as us here have been incredibly excited for such a mission, that would once again capture the excitement of people all around the world. It is true that the award is currently in a weird state of limbo with the recent protests from both Blue Origin and Dynetics, but regardless, it is expected that SpaceX will hold onto this award along with we hope at least one other contractor as new awards are announced. Anyway, this video focuses on the latest information about the award for SpaceX, what we do and don’t know about the mission. Why do we see it as such a big deal? Well… not only will this help to further our journey in becoming an interplanetary species, but it will also inspire that curiosity in people all over the globe when we once again witness astronauts step on another celestial body. Almost half a century ago we visited, but this time, we aim to stay. The construction of a permanent lunar settlement aided by reusable launch systems is the first step towards reaching these new technological heights. A stepping stone if you will, that enables us to reach out to further destinations in our Solar system, notably of course Mars and the asteroid belt. Strap in, because this is going to be an interesting topic.
