Do we know how many Starship launches SpaceX will need to get NASA astronauts to the moon? No. Will its refuelling plan be simple? Also no.

SpaceX’s Starship is slated to potentially serve as the lunar lander for NASA’s ambitious Artemis IV mission, however, significant complexities remain regarding the program’s logistics. According to sources, the Starship design necessitates multiple refueling operations during two distinct orbital paths. These refueling missions are currently projected to require an unspecified quantity of propellant. This adds considerable layers of intricacy to what would otherwise be a straightforward journey to the moon. SpaceX has not yet provided details on how this refuelling plan will function, confirming that it won't be simple.
