Its hilarious that for our Putin-wannabe President, Artemis remains a very Russian Space Mission.
Artemis right now, is a fantasy. It's a lander that isn't designed, combined with a rocket that hasn't flown and costs $1.3 billion per launch, and a capsule that is over designed for its purpose and way, way too expensive per unit.
It's a bunch of CG art, and a bunch of statements of intent, some logos, and nothing more.
Without the Exploration Upper Stage, which won't be ready for the Artemis 3 in 2024, the mission architecture relies on multiple Block Is and commercial spacecraft (namely, Falcons).
This is the plan. It's a really bad plan.
Most notable is that the Lunar lander will have to be launched to the Lunar Platform-Gateway via THREE commercial flights, and be assembled. The Habitation, Descent and Ascent modules will all be on different flights. Which means the first integrated test will be on the landing attempt.
They didn't even do this during Apollo. For good reason. They staged Apollo 10 first.
Between the time table and the mission manifest, this is an invitation for astronauts to be stranded on the moon... or the US gets lucky if it doesn't happen.
Landing on the moon is basically pointless. The rationale for the Gateway station is to use it as the framework for the Mars Transit Vehicle. The technologies utilized for Lunar missions are incompatible with a Mars mission. The money is better spent on developing the engines and technologies for Mars, rather than planting a flag at great risk and expense on a place the US has been, and leaving.
And more to the point, multiple Falcon Heavy's are both more capable and a fraction of the cost of the Senate Launch System. Years ago, I was a vocal advocate of the SLS here. But the economics changed and the technology improved. The launch and landing technology of SpaceX made the SLS obsolete before it flew. The only reason it exists is to keep Alabama in the rocket building business. It is flying pork.
Fortunately, because the budget doesn't fund it, the mission won't actually happen.
