In an astronomical feat, using NASA
NASA, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, is the United States government agency responsible for the nation’s civilian space program and for aeronautics and aerospace research. Established in 1958 by the National Aeronautics and Space Act, NASA has led the U.S. in space exploration efforts, including the Apollo moon-landing missions, the Skylab space station, and the Space Shuttle program.
One rocket, two missions: Lunar landers built by US and Japanese companies are poised to “rideshare” to the moon, showcasing the private sector’s growing role in space exploration.
SpaceX is targeting a 1:11 am (0611 GMT) Wednesday liftoff of a Falcon 9 rocket from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, with very favorable weather conditions forecast.
On board are two privately developed, uncrewed lunar landers: Firefly Aerospace’s Blue Ghost and ispace’s Resilience from Japan, which will also deploy a micro rover.
Metamaterials can reverse light’s path in time within nanoseconds, defying conventional physics.
SpaceX is preparing for the seventh flight test of the Starship vehicle on Monday afternoon from Starbase in Boca Chica near Brownsville, Texas.
So, if all goes to plan, the Eco Rocket could become Japan’s first operational spaceplane. On its website, Space Walker explains that “we envision sustainable commercial space transportation for all, as familiar and accessible as commercial air travel today.”
The company says it has patented the technology behind a world-first lightweight-composite cryogenic propellant tank. It also emphasizes the value of reusability, which has been shown in practice by SpaceX’s incredibly successful Falcon 9 program. Space Walker will go the extra mile for sustainability, though, as the Eco Rocket will use a carbon-neutral liquefied biomethane propellant.

At CES 2025, Elon Musk joined Mark Penn the Stagwell CEO, and 25 CMOs to discuss AI, robotics, Neuralink, space exploration, and Mars colonization. Musk shared bold predictions on AI’s role in cognitive tasks, humanoid robots, autonomous cars, and X’s future as a platform for collective human consciousness. They also explored government’s role in tech, internet connectivity, and combating global pessimism.
