I believe NASA is looking for an EXCUSE to NOT launch Artemis. There's no other explanation for it STILL sitting on the pad.
Meanwhile, Musk's SpaceX Starship continues to make advances in cryo testing the ship, and now leading up to a possible static fire of the booster again. Ship 25 might replace Ship 24 for launch? Not sure, but in any case SpaceX has accomplished more in 2 years than NASA has in 6 YEARS with Artemis. BUREAUCRACY KILLS PROGRESS, RIGHT NASA?
Elon doesn't have to make Muslims feel good.
And, godness knows what other unqualified AA hanger-on's that must be tolerated at NASA.

I'm for NASA's present go slow/safe approach.
You are pretty far off the mark. They want to have a very high probability of success.
This ain’t my Daddy’s NASA.
