Jim Bridenstine: “The SLS rocket, the biggest, most powerful ever built that will take our astronauts to the Moon, is at Michoud.”

There is two types of risk, there is technical risk and then there is political risk.

I think it is important that we recognize that what the commercial providers ultimately provide, a lot of it could have already been tested.

To be clear, I am confident that, given our current rate of production, we will have three SLSs available and the third one would be for Artemis III that takes us to the Moon in 2024.

If NASA is not currently capable of landing American astronauts on the Moon in 5 years, we need to change the organization, not the mission.
