Congress Approves NASA Moon Plan Despite Opposition from Musk and Isaacman

The U.S. Senate approved a $10 billion increase in NASA's Artemis program funding, supporting traditional aerospace contractors and the SLS rocket, despite criticism from Elon Musk and Jared Isaacman who favor reusable technology. The new funding contradicts previous plans to phase out the SLS, and includes allocations for lunar and Mars missions, as well as space station operations.
