The Wall Street Journal has reported that SpaceX, the private aerospace manufacturer led by Elon Musk, is planning to focus on lunar missions prior to its much-anticipated Mars exploration initiatives. This shift in strategy highlights the company's immediate goals related to NASA's Artemis program, which aims to return humans to the Moon by the mid-2020s. By concentrating resources and technological development towards lunar expeditions, SpaceX can solidify its position as a key player in lunar exploration, potentially offering services that align with government and international objectives.
