Thanks for another great video, Scott! I'm not American, so I'll try to keep politics out of this comment. My understanding is that Artemis had the goal of landing on the Moon by 2024 specifically because Trump wanted that to be an accomplishment of his second term. So far as I know Biden doesn't have the same kind of goals, so his Administration will probably take a more technocratic, less personally motivated approach to NASA. The result of this will be much less pressure to get Artemis done quickly. Combine that with the Congressional budget shenanigans you detailed in your video, and we get a recipe for slow progress that's more like previous Administrations. Hopefully they'll keep a hard deadline like 2026, but without a political motive in the background driving everything forward I suspect Artemis will get slower and slower and that deadline will move further and further into the future.
