NASA & SpaceX is about TESTING the Unique method to take astronauts back to the Moon!
For a long time, NASA has always had doubts about the timely schedule of the Starship program. They have always been worried because Starship is crucial in their plan to explore the Moon.
However, their view has now changed!
In the final days of April, NASA just released positive information about SpaceX in a meeting focused on the Moon to Mars architecture.
During the meeting, Amit Kshatriya, NASA's deputy associate administrator for the Moon to Mars program, once again confirmed the upcoming launch date for SpaceX's fourth Starship test flight will take place in late May, in line with what SpaceX's president and chief operating officer, Gwynne Shotwell, shared in March.

More importantly, Kshatriya announced the success of the missions assigned to SpaceX. This is the reason leading to increased trust and hope for SpaceX's future breakthroughs.

During the March Starship launch, SpaceX conducted a crucial test for NASA to transfer propellant between the vehicle's tanks. Kshatriya believes the test was successful by all indications, but a month after the test, NASA is still evaluating the data to make a definitive conclusion.

samo napred,dečki,ima nas koji navijamo za vas.👍💯🚀❤
If SpaceX can master fuel transfer, there is no place Starship can’t go.
Remember nobody has done this before and it is the last thing keeping us earthbound.
Shag Wellington approved!
You know you want to laugh!
NASA is concerned about SpaceX's schedule because NASA is incapable of meeting their own schedule and they can't deal with the fact that another entity might actually be able to do so.
A bladder tank needs to be employed to contain the fuel in one place while in zero gravity and squeezed by boiloff.
"...the settling thrust..."? Implies a rocket propulsion continuous thrusting to move propellant into reach of the pumping intakes. That would use propellant for propellant transfer, as opposed to a rotational settling of the propellant and the use of solar electricity for pumps to move the propellant.
SCCOOOOORE!!!!
Got both SpaceX and NASA with free surface effect in ship's tanks! Now its a Space Navy thing! 🤣
Fun part is have been trolled for pointing out commonalities between Ships of Space, and Ships of Seas! 🤗
And remember guys, I did do a writ on fuel transfer using the escape velocity line to assist...
Hope that message was recieved, passing in the blind, as Radiomen describe it...
I'm glad the first robotic lunar mission will attempt a lift off.
If they dont want to bring that ship back, might park it in Lunar Orbit as the First gate way, or re land on the moon for use there.
Nice would be seperating the bottom engines and tanks and getting them back to Earth orbit, to refuel and push a container train back to lunar orbit later.
Also if the ship came apart past the main tanks,.and tip vessel had headers, it could be left in Lunar orbit to be refueled as a re usable lander.
If we did that a few times we could have spare landers and spare orbital hulls with life support, so we could extract guys from moon base alpha for MEDEVACs etc.
Would be smart to get our exit in place before making our D day landings on Omaha Beach....
And start getting our supply lines set up from the get go.
Really, only thing we should be bringing back for awhile, is people, and maybe those samples NASA has Marooned on Mars...
One of Elon's guys can put those in his lunch box to bring home...
Wonder what the Courrier fees are from the Red Planet?
And have you guys realized? we are gonna have Red and Blue planets politically?
Crazy danger, refueling in orbit.
Yeah!
There are ways away from even trying this. We don't even have a vehicle to come back to Earth yet. Got a lot of stepping Stones before we get to an operational vehicle. Let alone refueling and going to another planet.
Space X will have their own base on the moon before NASA ever gets there
I think SpaceX needs to develop a nuclear engine for anything beyond Earth's orbit. It will require less fuel and will be faster.
Question: once you perfect LEO fuel transfer, why do you need Starship to go to the moon?
Why not transfer fuel to the Falcon 9 second stage (or equivalency) and send a smaller capsule for these initial missions?
If you are referring to use of something like the Dragon capsule as the second stage of the Falcon 9, Musk's long ago vision for the Dragon capsule was that it be used as a propulsive landing craft that could be returned to earth and landed on solid ground. He also though it could be used for mars (and moon) landings as well. NASA was focused on development of a transport vehicle to the ISS and was leery of having the rocket landing engines. They all agreed it would take too long to certify. I don't think Musk has given up on the idea and we may see it again in the future. As far as NASA goes, it has been reported recently that NASA may have bigger plans than have been reported. They want to deliver mass to the moon and they need SX to do it. I believe they could use something like the Dragon capsule and attach it to the moon Starship as a command module that could also be used as an escape vehicle. In its current form it could carry seven astronauts and is already human rated. The Dragon has a diameter of 13 feet and the Starship has a diameter of about 30 feet. The Starship would become the trunk with access into the Dragon. In line with your thinking, you could make it a much smaller vehicle. The two could even be landed separately and the moon Dragon could then be used as a travel craft from the moon to a return earth transport craft. Just the development of a human rated capsule took SX years of development and Boeing has not yet achieved that goal. Apply that development time to Artemis and how long would it take to complete? There has to be a better and less complex system than Artemis. Here is the Wiki article on use of the uncrewed Mars Red Dragon.

Because it has not been Shag Wellington approved sir!
This is bs. If launch 4 is successful, then maybe a timeline means something. Otherwise, it is just rampent speculation.
nobody can pronouns Tsiolkovsky's name right, expect Russians 😂 (maybe some Polish too)
