Currently Playing: How NASA Is Fixing This 15-Year-Old Problem | Artemis Update

NASA’s October Artemis update details major changes to the Space Launch System for perhaps as soon as Artemis IV, including a planned shift to ULA’s stretched Centaur V, and an earlier, lighter Axiom Sortie spacesuit to support a 2028 lunar landing. The briefing confirms dual pathways for the first crewed landing since Apollo, using either Blue Origin’s Blue Moon Mk2 or SpaceX’s Starship HLS, while releasing new images of crew cabin hardware from both companies and addressing Orion’s limited propellant budget for low lunar orbit after the Gateway "pause" (cancellation). It also covers ongoing VAB stacking of the Artemis III core stage and solid rocket boosters, upper-stage decision points, suit performance trade-offs, and the multi-launch architectures required to return astronauts to the Moon. 🤵 Hosted by Ryan Caton (@DPodDolphinPro). 🖊️ Written by Ryan Caton (@DPodDolphinPro). 🎥 Video from Max Evans, D Wise, NASA, Axiom Space, Blue Origin, SpaceX, United Launch Alliance, NASA Goddard. ✂️ Edited by Ryan Caton (@DPodDolphinPro). 💼 Produced by Kevin Michael Reed (@kmreed).
