[barrygolden]

2 month delay so far to pick 2 landing systems was released Jan 27.
NASA administrator on Jan 16 said didn't get the funding to support the 2024 landing.
New admiration has not indicated their plans for NASA

Well, it is not like a big surprise, experts kept telling for years that the actual funding is too low and many important resources for the mission not funded at all.

Without some smarter people in Senate and Congress, things might have been even worse now.

It would be a good start, but thats also what many people at that time thought of Apollo. Just a start and in 2001, we have a huge, mostly underground city on the moon....
