The consecutive failures may have decreased the likelihood SpaceX can meet NASA’s goal of landing on the moon in 2027, experts said.

NASA has announced the assignments for its SpaceX Crew-11 mission to the International Space Station, scheduled for no earlier than July.

The California Coastal Commission isn't actually preventing Elon Musk's company from moving forward with an expanded launch schedule, but SpaceX's retaliation claims against the coastal watchdog will proceed anyway.

The next phase of testing is set to begin for NASA's crewed Artemis program, which aims to return humans to the moon, the administration announced Thursday, and will serve as a foundation for travel to Mars.

A NASA-funded plan to build a large radio telescope on the moon's far side is nearing final approval and could become a reality by the 2030s, researchers say. The ambitious project will help safeguard astronomy from satellite "megaconstellations" — and help scientists unravel more of the radio spectrum.

Elon Musk has said he foresees SpaceX making its first uncrewed voyage to the red planet at the end of next year.
