This is a concerning read, I'm not quite sure what the driving motivation is for Artemis, but the following answered at least part of my question - > That context is a moon program that has spent close to $100 billion and 25 years with nothing to show for itself, at an agency that has just experienced mass firings and been through a near-death experience with its science budget

I understand why NASA might be a little antsy but 100B over 25 years doesn't seem like a lot for America for a long horizon project.

      Worded provocatively but with a $200B Iran war bill being pushed and DHS funding in the OBBA being increased by over $300B from baseline, it’s not necessarily wrong.

  It's 100b just to begin - the full bill would be multiples of that. And there are options now.
