A: Hey there! Guess what I just heard?
B: What's up?

A: They're saying a company called Impulse Space has this crazy plan to send cargo to the moon by 2028!
B: No way! Really? How do they plan to do that?

A: They say they've got this new lunar lander and something called Helios. Helios is going to transport tons of stuff without needing any refueling in space.
B: Wow, so these big things like rovers or habitats can go to the moon?

A: Exactly! And they say it'll be at a reasonable cost too. They're talking about delivering up to 6 tons across two missions.
B: That's amazing! It seems like it would fill a big gap in the market for lunar payload logistics.

A: Absolutely! They're saying this capacity is perfect for stuff that's too big for NASA's program and too small for human-rated landers being developed by SpaceX and Blue Origin.
B: So, how does it all work? I mean, getting from Earth to the moon with a cargo load... that sounds tricky!

A: Well, they launch on a standard rocket first, then Helios takes over to get them to low lunar orbit within seven days. After that, the lander separates and goes down to the surface.
B: That's impressive! I can't wait to see how it turns out.

A: Me neither! But they did mention some risks – like making a lunar lander engine that can throttle, restart, and have high specific impulse for control in space.
B: Right, that sounds tough. But if they pull it off, it would open up a whole new delivery schedule for the moon!

A: Definitely! They're already working on the engine and planning the first Helios flight for late 2026. Let's hope they can deliver as promised!
