NASA planning document may offer clues to changes in Artemis program
From Ars Technica:
"NASA is close to finalizing a plan to land humans on the Moon in 2024 and is expected to publicly discuss it next month. While the space agency has not released its revised strategy publicly, a recently updated "mission manifest" for the Space Launch System rocket may provide some clues about the new Artemis Program."

Pathological optimism?

Re: NASA planning document may offer clues to changes in Artemis program
I don't know. Especially with the most recent news about Boeing and their poor quality control, I am becoming unable to generate enthusiasm. Perhaps I am succumbing to pessimism, but when we are talking about spaceflight with humans on board, I believe that safety must be priority number one. While it's good to have a plan, even if it is over-ambitious, I fear a rushed schedule, coupled with a contractor who has already started skipping steps, could lead to yet another disaster in US human space travel.

Realism is not pessimism.
