CBS 60 Minutes - well, actually 13 minutes - about the challenges the #Artemis program is facing ... and how #BlueOrigin might save the day in case #SpaceX doesn't deliver: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/nasa-artemis-moon-mission-faces-delays-space-agency-pushes-ahead-60-minutes/ with a transcript in https://www.cbsnews.com/news/nasa-working-with-spacex-and-blue-origin-to-land-us-astronauts-back-on-the-moon-60-minutes-transcript/ and a Chinese reaction via a cartoon to the Nelson statement in https://twitter.com/globaltimesnews/status/176452436693370493

Although NASA is unlikely to speak about it publicly any time soon, the space agency is privately considering modifications to its #Artemis plan to land astronauts on the surface of the Moon later this decade: https://arstechnica.com/space/2024/04/nasa-may-alter-artemis-iii-to-have-starship-and-orion-dock-in-low-earth-orbit/ - multiple sources have confirmed that NASA is studying alternatives to the planned Artemis III landing of two astronauts on the Moon, nominally scheduled for September 2026, due to concerns about hardware readiness and mission complexity.
