摘要

NASA will need considerable assistance from private aerospace companies like Bezos's Blue Origin to meet Vice President Mike Pence's goal, announced a few weeks before Blue Moon's unveiling on May 9, of putting an American back on the moon by 2024. On May 16, NASA announced contracts for studies and prototypes with 11 companies interested in providing it with lunar landers and other spacecraft; Blue Moon got funding, as did an unnamed, even larger moon lander from Elon Musk's SpaceX. (Another of the 11 companies is the much smaller and scrappier Masten Space Systems, profiled on page 52.)The Pence acceleration had no compelling rationale beyond an unwillingness to let China seize the "strategic lunar high ground." It is true that once China builds the very large new rocket its engineers are now planning, the Long March 9, and gains experience with space operations using its proposed space station, a moon mission seems the logical next move. But given that the Chinese space program is characterized by slow, measured steps, that seems a much more likely proposition for the 2030s than the 2020s. Pence's urgency might simply have more to do with the fact that, were Donald Trump to win a second presidential term, a 2024 moon landing could take place during Pence's own campaign to become president.
