In this video, I'll run through updates as NASA's Exploration Ground Systems integrated operations team continues stacking the Artemis III SLS boosters and Boeing continues final assembly of the Core Stage for that launch, but it starts with the latest look at the big picture.

Six months after a reset and reorganization of the Artemis-branded programs, it's hard to tell if Washington's 2028 lunar landing dreams are closer to reality or if the current target dates are motivational tools.

Congress wanted to beat China in a race to land the next people on the Moon, but the White House raised the stakes and shortened the deadline to the end of their current term. As it is, all the secret lunar lander developers are dealing with the same issues and delays as the U.S. government programs had.
