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.
You can’t get projects like this done on a deadline by laying people off huge swathes of people at NASA, cutting budgets, shutting down the government, wreaking havoc on the economy with tariffs, and finally playing musical chairs with your contractors based on political spite against their CEOs. Where is the reasonable expectation this is actually going to follow through successfully for a 2028 launch?
