Next update: “Orion will stay in earths orbit and just look and wave at the moon”

[PenkoAngelov]

Final revision - "Orion will dock with the ISS and take pictures of the Moon."

[AH-mjrd]

We have the technology but not the will

[treborg]

An “Apollo 9” step should have been in the plans from the beginning, and each lunar lander should go thru this check flight before going to the Moon. It’s a big & dangerous over-reach to not do this.

[niklassteinhauser]

So sad! The military and war effort is financed like crazy, but peace and meaningful things like space exploration and science projects are underfunded and cut back. It’s a shame!

[raptor]

Honestly, testing out Starship in LEO BEFORE going to the moon is the sensible option. It’s a long way back if something goes wrong in lunar orbit.

[markysharky]

You can thank congress for their budget cuts!

[lucascousins]

I was just talking about something like this, and it seems reasonable to me
Apollo had 4+ test flights to ensure the equipment worked
-8 to go around the moon(being fulfilled by Artemis II)
-9 to test rendezvous and docking and man-rate the LM
-10 as a dress rehearsal for the landing

And I've always thought it a bit ambitious of NASA to just unilaterally trust the SpaceX lander with no man-rating tests, so I think this would be good for the program
As long as it doesn't sacrifice any other objectives

[kenchiken]

I think people don’t realize how small nasas budget is

[walterstelzman]

Plus the fact that the US Government keeps cutting the funding for NASA, doesn't help

[Armystrong]

This is just regular NASA protocol. They don't know if everything will go smoothly. So new time tables are being set to give starship as much opportunity as possible to be as ready as possible.

[sickbailey]

its time that the channels that follow the space race become a lot more critical when it comes to spacex's shortcomings.

[richiet]

If Boeing involved, that answers all questions.

[novtek]

The absolute final version - Artemis will be recreated on a sound stage with CG and simulate what a moon landing might be like, while Elon gets fed up with all that NASA antisapointment and launches a fleet of Starships with resources and manpower enough to build a moon base, and has it up and running before Artimis gets released for streaming on Amazon Prime Video.

[johnfurseth]

In the 1960’s, we funded the space race to secure the moon ahead of the USSR. Now we’re in a race to secure the moon ahead of China.

No bucks.

No Buck Rogers.

[LibertarArgentina]

40 years hearing a new cancelling of the moon return. Is a shame.

[xvor_tex]

It dosent seem likely we'll get to the moon in the decade. Its probably gonna be in the 2030s at the earliest.

[Leisurelee]

Doesnt help when your primary contractor fails to stick to mission profile and blows past every schedule milestone...

[broskintime]

next update: nasa will just wait till night and take pictures of the moon

[AlliedBroom]

Musk is likely gonna just do a trip with just starship long before Artemis ever gets close to the surface
