article about the budget of artemis (previous thread had the financial plan as the OP pic)

> The space agency's chief official for human spaceflight in deep space, Jim Free, discussed the budget from fiscal year 2024 through fiscal year 2028. During this five-year period, the space agency will spend at least $41.5 billion on the Artemis program, when there is likely to be a single human landing at most. This includes some staggering sums for the Space Launch System rocket, $11 billion, which has already been developed for this mission.

> During his presentation, Free warned that even with the president's budget proposal, there probably was not enough funding to carry out the Artemis program as conceived, which calls for an initial human landing in 2025 (which almost certainly will slip two or three years), and a follow-up landing in 2028 (again, slips are expected).
