Ready to blast off into 2025? This year’s space missions are like stepping into a sci-fi novel come to life! After a stellar 2024—Europa Clipper launched to study a moon hiding an ocean, SpaceX’s Starship nailed its landing, and China brought back lunar samples—2025 is raising the stakes.
NASA’s Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) is gearing up to send science experiments to the Moon aboard commercial landers. Sounds a bit like the corporate-driven space races in Becky Chambers’ A Closed and Common Orbit, right? Meanwhile, SPHEREx will map the universe in near-infrared, which feels like something ripped from Alastair Reynolds’ Revelation Space universe. The ESA’s Space Rider spaceplane is a total nod to reusable ships like in The Expanse, and Japan’s M2/Resilience mission, with its micro-rover tech, gives big Artemis vibes.
Get ready to watch real-life sci-fi unfold. The future isn’t just on the page—it’s in the stars!
