The first blue moon Mark 1 is funded from the Blue Origin treasury. Now it is completely assembled and will soon go to the Johnson space center in NASA in Houston for testing on a vacuum camera. Then he will go to Florida the “space coast” for final preparation for launch.
“We are building a series, not the only landing, but several types and sizes and scale of plantings to go to the moon,” Remias said.
The second Mark 1 Lander will transfer Viper Rover NASA to the prospect of water ice at the South Pole of the Moon at the end of 2027. Around the same time, Blue will use Lander Mark 1 to deploy two small satellites to orbit to the moon flying up to several miles above the surface to scout for resources Like water, precious metals, rare earth elements and helium-3, which can be extracted and operated by future researchers.
Large landing, Blue Moon Mark 2, is at an earlier stage of development. This will be evaluated in a person to land with astronauts on the moon for the program of Artemis NASA.
Blue Origin's Blue Moon Mk1 Lander, seen in the center, is higher than Apollo Lander from NASA, currently the largest spaceship, landed on the moon. Blue Moan MK2 is even larger, but all three landings have dwarf dimensions on the SpaceX star.

Another NASA team, a rating with the crew rating, will be received from the SpaceX Starship missile. But Starship and Blue Moon Mark 2 are in several years from being prepared for the placement of the human team, and both require an orbital cryogenic refueling– something never tried in space before– To go to the moon.
This led to a small dilemma in NASA. China is also working on the lunar program, considering a team landing on the moon by 2030. Many experts say that today China is in a pace to land astronauts on the moon in front of the United States.
Of course, 12 American astronauts walked along the moon in the Apollo program. But no one has returned since 1972, and NASA and China plan to return to the moon to stay.
One of the ways to accelerate US planting on the moon may be the use of the modified version of Blue Origin's Mark 1 Lander, ARS reported on ThursdayField
If this is the path that NASA goes, bets for the next new launch and planting Glenn will take off even higher.
