If it were to happen, a revised Artemis III mission could echo Apollo 9.

      Only took 8 years the first time, which was pioneering everything. (I don’t recall when the new announcement was made and the timeline.)

      But also most of us have absolutely no concept about such things.

          Most people do not have exposure to rocket ship construction. Building construction yes to a certain extent, they can see a building go up. Most don’t watch a rocket ship being designed or manufactured.

          The only conception, which I think is the one you are referring to, is that things often take longer than announced.

          Those aren’t the same things. Ciao.

        Only because he demanded it. Those of us actually working on it just had a bunch of extra work to do indulging his fantasy while simultaneously doing the actual work of reality.
