NASA's Artemis Program Goes Over Budget by Billions.
TL;DR Summary
NASA's Artemis Moon program is $6 billion over budget and six years behind schedule, with the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket being a major contributor to the overrun. The program is on track to reach a $93 billion price tag, with $23.8 billion already spent on the SLS. The report blames the added complexity of integrating old technology into the new for the costly delays to the SLS development. The Inspector General warns that the program's scheduled missions are in great jeopardy so long as NASA continues its spending trend.
