The competitive space race extends beyond just SpaceX. On the same horizon, other players like Blue Origin are making strides. Recently, Blue Origin achieved a successful launch with their New Glenn rocket, marking a significant moment in their long development timeline. Although the booster did not successfully complete its return landing, the mission underscored the difficulty and complexity inherent in making it to orbit.

Simultaneously, two lunar landers—NASA's Firefly Blue Ghost Lander and ispace's Hakuto-R—took off, representing significant advancements in moon exploration efforts. Each lander is embarking on unique missions, offering opportunities for various experiments to understand better the lunar environment and potential for future exploration.
