Will a landing using a SpaceX’s Starship HLS as a part of NASA’s Artemis program be counted as NASA, SpaceX, or both?

bought Ṁ10 of NASA YES

@OnixarLilen I would say that if it flies the NASA logo, it counts as NASA.
But it gets tricky. If we compare with ISS crew programs: Does Commercial Crew count as NASA+SpaceX? Does Axiom count as SpaceX?

@OnixarLilen Whoever manufactured the launch/landing system wins

bought Ṁ250 of NASA YES

@KewlKid by "landing" do you mean lunar landing, or Earth landing?

@KewlKid In the Artemis missions, there are going to be multiple launch systems. The lander will be launched by SpaceX’s Superheavy, while the astronauts will be launched by NASA’s SLS.

bought Ṁ15 of Spacex YES

@KewlKid NASA doesn't do manufacturing, really at all. The (current) landing system will be manufactured by SpaceX, the launch system will be manufactured by Boeing, Northrop Grumman, Aerojet Rocketdyne, ULA, et. al.

@Sailfish Both will resolve yes

@KewlKid both what? Who will resolve YES for launching Orion on SLS?

@KewlKid Given that it's a dependent multiple choice market, both cannot resolve YES, so they would need to both resolve 50%
