Today, civilian astronaut Jared Isaacman was nominated by President-elect Trump. The SLS is now really on the chopping block with Vivek Ramaswamy and Elon Musk running the new Department Of Government Efficiency, or "DOGE."

Isaacman personally flies his own MiG 29, and is a 3000+ hour pilot; his former company, Draken, International, operated a fleet primarily consisting of Czech-built L-39 Albatross jets that were available to our military to serve as surrogates for enemy fighters. Last year there was some presence at the Bozeman, Montana International Airport during the training for the Polaris Dawn mission.
Hopefully, Isaacman will be speedily confirmed. If so--he will undoubtedly OK an attempt to re-boost and repair the Hubble Space Telescope, which he had previously offered to do as Polaris Mission 2--at no expense to NASA or the US Government.

I sincerely hope that NASA Director Isaacman is able to fast-track the process of returning Americans to the moon ahead of the Chinese, and that all American aerospace / defense contractors do their utmost to maintain the flight schedule of the Artemis Program.
However less than ideal, the only remaining impediments to Artemis landing on the moon are development of the lander itself and finishing flight testing of the super heavy lift launch vehicle required to reliably propel the capsule and lander to the moon. We can work with the space suit, life support, and surface mobility tech that we presently have, while working with industry to devise better solutions.
