Space race incentives: A lunar return prize or pay-on-delivery contracts? Recently, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich caused considerable excitement when he proposed a concept, which he calls the Moon-Mars Development Prize Competition. This proposed government-funded prize would award $2 billion to the first private company to return humans to the moon and set up a base there. He hastened to add that this plan is not meant to replace NASA’s Project Artemis, but would run in parallel. The prize competition would be an insurance policy for just in case Artemis begins to falter, for technical, budgetary or political reasons.

Newt Gingrich has published We Need A Competition To Get America To The Moon — And Mars, a well written, well reasoned response to my Newt Gingrich’s Plan For A Private Space Race Is A Shaky One My main point that the government is very unlikely to fund such a competition remains. It could work as a privately funded contest, however.

In-space refueling vs heavy lift? NASA and SpaceX choose both

The argument over whether to use heavy-lift or in-space refueling has raged across the space community since the George W. Bush-era Constellation project to return to the moon. NASA’s traditional fueling method has been to use a big, heavy-lift rocket such as the Saturn V or the more modern Space Launch System. However, an alternate architecture has been proposed, which uses smaller, commercial rockets with a refueling depot to send people and cargo back to the moon.
