That should have been obvious with the way the left hates Elon.

The program is named Artemis. Human Landing System is the new name for Lunar Lander.

Why are we still giving that snake oil salesman money? That rendering while cool is very very impractical.

Elon is the richest guy in the world. Crazy that Bezos can sell everything to everybody in the world and it's still more profitable to business with the US govt.

Because his “snake oil” works extremely well and their proposal scored the highest across the board and is the only one that offers the possibility of a sustained presence on the moon.

Have you slept through the last year? SpaceX is the only company who has flown TWICE to the ISS. They've also been able to cut costs by reusing the first stage booster rockets. And let's not forget they're putting a ton of mini satellites up to provide access to the internet by everyone.

On a personal level I'm so thankful a guy like Elon is behind this rather than a socialist corporate turd like Bezos.
