In r/BlueOrigin, builders debate whether Blue Origin can field a crewed Mk1.5 or Mk2 lander on an Artemis III timeline, weighing BE-7 testing and existing hardware against the realities of human-rating and schedule risk.
How feasible is a manned Mk1.5/Mk2 lander being tested next year for Artemis III?
The reality is somewhere in the middle neither “0% chance” nor “flying next year.”
But the gap between “hardware exists” and “human-rated lander ready for Artemis III” is massive.
Another BE-7 has completed acceptance testing and is now at Lunar Plant 1 in Florida.
