"Race to the Moon: Challenges and Ambitions for NASA's Artemis Program"
Former NASA Administrator Michael Griffin criticized the Artemis Program during a House subcommittee hearing, advocating for a simpler and faster approach to return to the Moon using an upgraded Space Launch System rocket, a Centaur III upper stage, an Orion spacecraft, and a two-stage lunar lander. However, critics argue that his plan is unrealistic and reminiscent of the failed Constellation Program, with significant challenges in rocket development and lunar lander design and funding.
