Just 5 more years bro, for real this time bro. Plz fund me, plz.
Lets not. The moon is kinda garbage and a horrible analog for martian precursor missions. Lunar “exploration” should be handed off to Space Force so they can enjoy funding the obvious lunar-land-grab/annexation/occupation posturing as it is not a scientific endeavor!
Please no. Making things just to keep people employed in your voting district is bad policy.
In this thread, people who think Artemis is synonymous with SLS.
“Artemis will stay because of Trump´s vanity”, says Bill The Ballast Nelson.
would be better headline.
Completely can the SLS part but keep the Artemis mission going. Invest in private space companies, not just only SpaceX. Let’s take advantage of the egos between these greedy billionaires and have them fight each other to win these contracts.
My main question regarding this is:
If the SLS is scrapped but Artemis goes forward, how much delay would there be? My understanding is that Artemis-3 could launch in 2027 given current development and the issues with hardware.
What a shame. The money could be used so much more productively in other programs.
I feel like part of this is just a smart thing to say if you want a private sector job with any of the aerospace contractors.
