Original Note:
Starship's March 6, 2025, test was privately funded by SpaceX for Mars/commercial goals, not taxpayer money. NASA has future contracts for Starship for lunar missions (Artemis), but not this test or development. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SpaceX_Starship https://www.nasa.gov/humans-in-space/nasa-awards-spacex-second-contract-option-for-artemis-moon-landing/
