    SpaceX will delay a mission to Mars planned for this year to instead=

    focus on a long-promised lunar voyage for NASA. The company is
    targeti=
    ng March 2027 for a lunar landing without humans on board.
    Before heading=
    to the Moon, SpaceX will need to demonstrate that
    Starship can be freque=
    ntly launched and refuel while in orbit. Blue
    Origin is pushing to beat S=

    Blue Origin engineers have been debating f=
    or over 15 years whether
    the upper stage of New Glenn should be fully reu=
    sable or to ruthlessly
    cut its manufacturing costs. A new job posting for=
    a director of upper
    stage development suggests that the debate may be sw=
    inging back toward
    reusing the upper stage. With the planned upgrade to N=
    ew Glenn, an
    upper stage may cost around $100 million to manufacture, put=
    ting
    pressure on the company to find a pathway to reuse. Upper stage reus=

    Creating high-fidelity clones of SaaS applica=

    allow for the testing of failure modes that would be dangerous or=
