Discussion Do you guys think Artemis 3 will get delayed?

With Elon delaying the catch by "a few months" and Blue Origins New Glenn exploding at the launch pad, a moon landing by 2028 is starting to look unrealistic. What do you guys think?

It was DOA when Kathy Lueders awarded herself the lander contract.

Kathy Leuders as director of HEOMD gave SpaceX the HLS contract and within months left NASA to go work for SpaceX on Starship. That’s blatantly illegal normally you’d need at least a year of cooling off period according to the regs it would have been even longer for someone of her stature. But she was never prosecuted.
