- This is an animation of what it may look like when SpaceX and NASA test the planned Human Landing System for the Artemis program.
From Starbase to the moon's surface, I try to show all the major milestones needed to make this a reality.
I hope for this to be entertaining and somewhat educational. This is highly speculative and will have many inaccuracies, missing or incorrect hardware, and milestones that are wrong or missed. The development of SpaceX's Starship has been at such a fast pace I could never keep up with the changes. I welcome all of your feedback and comments!
Thanks to SpaceX and NASA for dreaming big! I can not wait to see this happen soon!
Thanks to Samuel Krug for making and letting me use your beautiful Earth orbit HDRIs.

Thank you so much for your support and encouragement!
And thanks to all of you for watching my animations!
🧀 CHEESE 🧀
One of the best animations we've seen thus far, Bravo!
HA! I LOVE the wheel of cheese at the end XD
Stunning animation Nick, you can tell so much effort went into this. All the effects, all the different scenes, with so much attention to detail. Awesome 🚀🤘
I seriously can’t imagine that I might see this in real life:)
Really amazing animation, seriously. The high quality of rendering and accuracy of the launch site and launch vehicles were incredible!
No words can describe what a masterpiece you have created. Well done!
Beautiful work, all of it. Laughed out loud when the test payload was released on the lunar surface. Congratulations to you and the whole team.
Very very nice, quite cinematic with the funny cheese payoff. A particularly tasty touch was the very slight greenish tone applied as if with an airbrush to the lunar surface as the ship approached landing. Also, the engine sound is a necessary bit of stage magic that speaks of the power involved despite the fact that there would be none from the camera POV after atmospheric departure. It's a well taken liberty. The landing dust cloud was a standout as well. I'm jealous of the tools available to animators today. Why, back in my day, whippersnsppers, grumble, grumble ..... never mind, it's nap time. Thanks.
Thank you for that. This is an excellent way to show my family what SpaceX is planning on accomplishing.
Incredible and detailed animation. It was like looking into the future, the not so distant future! I am a new big fan! I’m sure many others will be as well. Many kudos.
This is exactly what makes me so much more excited about HLS compared to SLS
This gives me chills, I hope we can see starship flying soon, making all kinds of things possible.
That is a really interesting refueling setup though according to the GAO documents SpaceX will refuel a propellant depot (possibly a stretched Starship I'd guess) with tankers and then once its topped up then have the HLS ship dock and refuel everything in one go, much less risky and more time flexible that way. Though the refuel setup you showed looks logical for how it would be done from tanker to depot and depot to HLS so that's really cool, the airbag buffer is a nice idea
WOW just Wow!
Now this is what i call a class A professional eye candy video! TEAM SPACE ALL THE WAY! And the cheese at the end was hilarious!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love the QD fueling plate on the gas truck! Best part is no part
I liked the refueling part!
Nice! I like the ambition and it even has a funny note (to me at least) with that insane thrust-to-weight ratio at lift-off :D
Companies pay a fortune for such high quality animations, if they could get such quality anyway!
