We wonder if the event is intended for an audience of one.
Nice graphics. Any bets on the likelihood of meeting these ambitious goals in 2028?

"First we clear the barriers inside NASA.
Then we move."What barriers are we planning to remove? NASA scientists?

2/n@AkaSci Landers on a monthly cadence, starting 2027? That’s a lot of barriers to be moved, but also a lot of stuff to be built.

Let me guess - health and safety? -

Am I the only one remembering the **huge** amount of hardware, including rovers, built and discarded during the last 25 years virtually every single time a president changed?

2/n@AkaSci Seems the biggest barrier is usually the Senate dictating hardware decisions instead of letting NASA pick.

2008 to 2015. Wonder what happened in 2016.

Let me guess - health and safety?Reality keeps getting in the way, so obviously anyone who sides with Reality on any matter has got to go.

2/nThis graphic from the webcast has a significantly different timeline and states the dates as starting points for the various phases.
Presented by Carlos Garcia-Galan, program executive, Moon Base. He was Deputy Manager for the lunar Gateway Program, which has now been terminated; parts of the program will now be repurposed for lunar landing missions.

2/n@AkaSci the barrier is, as It always has been, money.
Good luck trying to do everything with less money, as they will cut in testing (as expected).

Here is an unbelievable graphic from the webcast showing planned launches and assets deployed on the moon, starting in 2026 with 2 landers!
All for the low low price of $10B across 3-4 years.
A lot is planned for 2027 and 2028. We wonder why?
BTW - the first moon landing using Artemis IV is currently planned for early 2028.
