Some Good News For NASA's $1.6 Billion Artemis Request

'Near-final' budget deal could prevent government shutdown, stabilize military funding, Defense News

"The retreat from the possibility of a one-year continuing resolution, which lawmakers and the administration had openly discussed, is a win for the Pentagon. While short-term stopgap CRs are nothing new, CRs do lock in spending at the previous year's level and bar new programs from starting as well as production increases."

Question: There is talk of not getting budget numbers and moving to a CR. That would be counter productive for you, correct? @JimBridenstine - "Yes, that would be devastating. If we end up in a CR the lander will not be developed". #Artemis #Moon2024
