Former NASA chief tells Congress Artemis is 'doomed' and the US has 'lost a lot of time' — warns of losing Moon to China At a Dec. 4 House Science Committee hearing, former NASA administrator Mike Griffin said the Artemis lunar program has "lost a lot of time" and is "doomed" without a fundamental reboot. Witnesses warned schedule, funding and technical setbacks risk ceding the Moon and broader space advantage to China.
