How best to troubleshoot NASA’s Moonshot program?
NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman revealed on February 27 a reconfigured plan for the Artemis program.
In sweeping “wait-a-minute” style, Isaacman spelled out a new plan that increases the cadence of launches and adds a step-by-step initiative of an Earth-orbit test flight before a lunar surface return.
The plan has outlined a needed “course correction,” one that cancels out the previous plan that was not a path to success.
