Original: NASA Eyes Bulk Rocket Buy for Moon Base Amid SpaceX Phaseout

Details on which providers would fill the gap remain limited, and the report has drawn attention from space-industry watchers tracking the agency's Artemis strategy.
Why now: Fresh reporting suggests a significant change in NASA's procurement strategy away from SpaceX for lunar missions.
