SpaceX
So we all know NASA and SpaceX and they have made deals and such before like when NASA paid the first commercial company to send people to the ISS (international space station), but this time they pick SpaceX and their prototype Starship to send Artemis astronauts to the moon.
So like we said SpaceX already has a vehicle in mind and under development for the job. Starship is the next generation spacecraft that's already made some dramatic test flights from the company's Texas Gulf Coast development facility. So far, each high-altitude flight has been followed by an explosive landing phase, but Musk isn't deterred.
Starship is designed to transport astronauts to the moon and many more humans to other worlds like Mars, where Musk hopes humanity will expand to become a "multiplanetary species."
SpaceX won the massive NASA contract by bidding $2.9 billion for the job, beating out Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin and Alabama-based military and space contractor Dynetics.
So it does not look good for Jeff Bezos and Blue Origin but they do have a lot coming their way, and good luck to SpaceX and Starship.
