For the first time in years, SpaceX has provided a detailed look into the development of their Starship lunar lander, the ambitious spacecraft designed to return American astronauts to the moon in this decade. But the timeline has been far from smooth, and the journey toward a successful lunar landing has been long and turbulent. … Read more
Now here’s a tantalizing space-story that blends engineering audacity with lunar ambition: what if Starship HLS — the variant of Starship built for the Moon by SpaceX — lands without traditional landing legs at all? That’s the claim that’s been swirling lately. Below we dive deep into that idea: why it emerged, how it could … Read more
The journey to the Moon has always been fraught with engineering challenges, but the proposed methods by SpaceX for its lunar lander — the Starship HLS (Human Landing System) — may rewrite the rules of how we touch down on another world. In the standard version of Starship, the biggest technical challenge lies in its … Read more
