SpaceX's New Spacecraft - The Dragon XL Plans For A New Lunar Gateway To Orbit Around The Moon

Streaming upload from Scott Manley:
"SpaceX has been awarded a contract to deliver cargo to lunar orbit, and the spacecraft they're planning to use is a new variant of the Dragon - The Dragon XL is radically different from other members of the family, it's not designed for atmospheric reentry or landing. It'll launch inside a cargo fairing on top of a Falcon Heavy, and should be able to transport 5 tons of cargo to the Lunar Gateway as part of the Artemis program."
