#Duffy has shown limited recognition of the #reality π of the current competition with #China. #NASA will need #SpaceX to deliver a human-rated #Starship vehicle, #Axiom to complete #spacesuits, and its own engineers to piece together and sign off on a complex plan that will be fraught with risk https://arstechnica.com/space/2025/09/nasas-acting-chief-angry-about-talk-that-china-will-beat-us-back-to-the-moon/

During the #IM2 mission, the #4G cell π± network will allow for #communication between the lander and the two vehicles. But #Nokia has plans for a more expansive 4G or 5G cell network that can cover the planned #Artemis habitat and its surroundings. The company is also working on integrating cell communications in Axiom #spacesuits meant for future lunar #astronauts π©βπ https://www.technologyreview.com/2025/02/18/1111984/nokia-is-putting-the-first-cellular-network-on-the-moon
