SpaceX could lose contract for Artemis 3 astronaut moon-landing mission, acting NASA chief says: ‘The problem is, they’re behind’
Speaking as someone who doesn’t lose their mind whenever Elon Musk is involved, I think this is a good thing. Not only are they behind, but a **lot** has changed since the contract was awarded too.
I really don’t see how changing horses mid stream is expected to save time and money. It’s not like BO, Boeing, ULA, or LM have a history of executing quickly or under budget on anything.
I don’t think they have a viable alternative. They’re just giving Elon a taste of his own medicine to try to make SpaceX focus and go faster.
