There's always the concern that somebody will accidentally create an AI that uses female logic..... and doom humanity!!

The Artemis program is now changing. 

Artemis II is going ahead as planned but I don't believe the April 1st date will happen.

Artemis III will NOT be a lunar landing but an orbital rendezvous with a lander (in LEO) maybe HLS maybe Blue Moon OR maybe BOTH. 

They plan to go from the 1 launch every 3 years cadence to every 10 months (I'm unclear how they plan to do that) so Artemis IV would likely be 2028 (if they can pull off the schedule change) and be the 1st landing. 

This will be a massive cost increase as I see it and I doubt it will happen at the claimed rate.  Wouldn't surprise me if it was cancelled due to cost though I do expect Artemis II and MAYBE Artemis III to fly at some point. 

Edit 1:  Apparently Artemis II has been moved back to the assembly building.  This greatly enhances the chance of another delay.  IMO of course.

do you know if he still wishes to be contacted about his work, or just credited? There some stuff, I dont remember what, some of it is klingon bashes I found on my old drive, that I want to put in BC. Specifics on which ships and such I dont remember, I didnt look at every readme, I know there are some tos feds as well. And I wonder if I have ever seen him in the background of a film now  . Dunno what he looks like though.

I got a reply from him his real name is Charles Edward Bae
"Lol I'm occupied with Shogun at the moment...Conversions to BC are fine"

Kinda off topic but do you know how to get in touch with terradyne? Or atra? I may also have some stuff from you. Also maybe andruil and schtupp. We are going back to BC modding again. Keep in mind, anything I have in my archive is 15+ yrs old. Dont know, given the age of the stuff, if any one even cares any more as long as they are credited, but i want to try and find people if I can.

Looks like Artemis 2 has been delayed to Wed • Apr 1st, 2026  6:24 PM - 8:24 PM EDT due to a helium leak in the "interim cryogenic propulsion stage" that carries the Orion capsule from orbit to the moon and back to LEO.

The interim cryogenic propulsion stage is built by ULA. 

Given the history I expect delays.  They apparently have something like 16 backup dates allocated which seems to be a lack of confidence in their ability to launch. 

Edit 1:  I've posted elsewhere about this so I thought I should add it here.  With the inability of SLS to launch on time comes a MAJOR issue for Artemis III.  Before Artemis III launches the HLS is supposed to already be in lunar orbit waiting for them.  It can't loiter out there indefinitely.  So if Artemis III has long enough delays the HLS will "expire" and not be able to fulfill the mission requiring ANOTHER HLS to be sent before Artemis III can launch.  With another possible round of Artemis III delays potentially allowing HLS to expire again.  This is a MAJOR defect in the whole Artemis program if the SLS can't launch reliably in a particular time frame.
