I must admit to having mixed feelings as to the Artemis mission. The emotions for this mission are different than those for Apollo. Also, I worked as a system engineer developing Bayesian risk assessment methodologies for parts of the Space Transportation System. The original STS plans included a reusable, crewed launch vehicle, the Shuttle, Earth and Lunar Space stations, a space ship to go between them, and lunar landers. Artemis feels like a waste.

@jadp that's a really interesting perspective. Yeah I remember bits of that program. I wonder if they saw it as ongoing maintenance of all the components being the factor that killed it?
