Artemis is a joint project. So the answer on that is probably “”it’s complicated”.
NASA’s biggest problem these days is we no longer believe in big ideas. NASA has a miniscule budget, and not much of a mission anymore. And I think that’s true for a lot of the western world, which is why the biggest thing going right now is a joint project of half a dozen countries. Space is a big idea, just because of the nature of how hard it is. And if you’re country isn’t into big ideas, and the money and support those take, space is out of reach.
Agree. Totally. And it's not just NASA.
We've forgotten how to "Think Big"; we're ruled by people incapable of thinking big. We're ruled by a bunch of whinging "safety-first" < expletives deleted > ...
