   Artemis II almost certainly will miss its September 2025 launch date

   It's not just Orion's heat shield; the mission's ground systems are running out of time.

     It infuriates me that we're still pushing this bloated, obsolete, bungled shit-ton of pork slowly towards the launch pad using a giant bulldozer that burns money, while the best, and only reasonable, up-to-date and cost-effective launch systems on Earth are privately owned by a drug-addled space-nazi who is actively trying to overthrow democracy and turn women back into breed cows. The failure here isn't primarily NASA, it's in the corrupt US congress.
