Even after successfully demonstrating Starship's capability to reach Earth's orbit, the company must address the complex task of providing the vehicle with sufficient propellant for the journey to the moon.

NASA officials have acknowledged potential delays in crafting the spacesuits for astronauts set to explore the moon's surface. Government watchdogs, including NASA's inspector general, have identified SpaceX's Starship development and spacesuit engineering as potential causes of Artemis III mission setbacks.

The heat shield of the spacecraft, designed to prevent burning during reentry into Earth's atmosphere, exhibited unexpected charring and erosion during the uncrewed Artemis I mission in 2022, according to Amit Kshatriya, the deputy associate administrator for NASA's Moon to Mars Program.

Furthermore, challenges persist with the Orion crew capsule's life support system and valves, which experienced failures during testing. NASA officials anticipate that preparing the life support systems for flight will be the most time-consuming aspect of the remaining work.

Unfortunately, the inaugural launch of one of these landers, the Astrobotic Peregrine lander, ended in failure shortly after liftoff on Monday. The company is now evaluating the disposal options for the vehicle, as it is running out of propellant on its journey to the moon.
