But perhaps the really surprising thing is the NASA administrator Jared Isaacman appears to have figured out how to negotiate with Congress and escape some of the sillier requirements that were slowing the program down. The Exploration Upper Stage is very likely dead in space. Elsewhere we have new X-Planes, lost spacecraft, new missions and of course a bunch of rocket launches.
