NASA is considering replacing Boeing's Space Launch System with SpaceX's Starship to carry the Orion capsule on lunar Artemis missions beyond Artemis V. This suggests NASA aims to accelerate lunar exploration by leveraging Starship's capabilities while reducing Boeing's role and potentially facing Congressional review. The agency plans upcoming discussions with contractors to finalize roles and timelines, targeting moon landings by 2028.
