What We Know About Biden And Artemis At T+2 Weeks

We Interviewed the New Head of NASA About SpaceX, China, and Aliens, Futurism

"Question: Your predecessor laid out a lot of highly-ambitious plans, like landing the first woman on the Moon by 2024 and establishing a long-term lunar base. I assume Artemis isn't being abandoned, but are you still pursuing those same timelines?

Jurczyk: Every indication we have so far, in week two of the new administration, is that Artemis will not be abandoned."

Message from NASA Acting Administrator Steve Jurczyk and Senior White House Appointee Bhavya Lal, earlier post

"We are excited about the opportunities that await us -the Perseverance Mars landing; the next Launch America mission; our focus on the study of our home planet; and returning American astronauts to the surface of the Moon, and then on to Mars."

In addition, Jen Psaki said she would look into it and get back to the reporter. Hopefully that's via tweet or in some other form. Would be nice to know the administration's position, which is thus far nebulous.
