SpaceX’s Elon Musk has become the coolest capitalist of them all | TheHill

By Thomas A. Smith

The real reason that Musk has become the coolest, more controversial capitalist of them all stems from the fact that NASA has made SpaceX a full partner in the Artemis return to the moon program. A lunar lander version of the Starship won sole funding for the Human Landing System (HLS). NASA is forking over $2.9 billion for SpaceX to make two moon landings. The first will be an unpiloted test flight. The second will take the first astronauts to land on the moon since Apollo 17 in December 1972. Unlike Apollo, Artemis has become a true public-private partnership.
