That's changing now.

Well, I'd be very honest with you.

Artemis II for sure would have launched at some point this year,

you know, almost regardless of who's the president.

The question is, would we have an achievable plan to actually get back to the moon in the next couple of years?

The answer is no.

Without the president Trump's national space policy and without the investments from the one big, beautiful bill, we would not have the mandate or the resources to increase the

moon rocket production, launch again in 2027, that critical risk buy-down mission of rendezvousing the spacecraft with the landers, we would not have had an achievable path back to the surface.

We certainly would not have a moon base.

So I think that the taxpayers all contribute into NASA for us to do the near impossible, what no company or other government agency or other nation is capable of doing.

Now, that's not always been the case.

There are times when you lose your way and you're doing a lot of things to make a lot of people happy.

And what you find out is that as an agency, you're actually competing with the

the SpaceX's or the Blue Origin's.

That's not how it is supposed to work.

This is why we are recalibrating back to doing the near impossible.

We announced two weeks ago Space Reactor One Freedom.

A nuclear power and propulsion spacecraft.

It's an interplanetary spacecraft that we will launch in 2028.

There are no humans on board.
