2028? SLS/Orion is so far behind schedule and waaaaay over budget.
Maybe NASA is depending on Space X/Dragon.....what a mission sucess record.
I suspect that NASA will be a speed bump to moon colonization at some point. They are such a bureaucratic mess they can’t do anything near on schedule or budget, but their employees keep drawing a paycheck!
NASA needs to decide, do we want to be relevant to space travel and establishing a base on the moon and going to Mars or be a works program for our employees?
You do know that NASA is not actually building SLS/Orion, but is being built by traditional space companies?
Perhaps the new space companies (which are also funded by NASA) can respond better than the older behemoths burdened by internal and external bureaucracies.
