Of course this still has to clear Congress, which has a lot of pork based reasons to think differently, but the cracks are showing in Artemis.
The program already relies on Starship or New Glenn being able to deliver crewed landers, so those obsolete SLS. Losing Gateway, the Lunar toll booth, bums me out as a space station fan, but I get it. I'm not clear on how they want to replace Orion yet.
