Makes me wonder what SpaceX schedule looks like...

This trip was going to be to part of Artemus contract correct?

Prove Starship is capable of moon orbiting with humans aboard... Before gateway?

How far off the schedule is this project? When will humans orbit the moon again?

Humans are scheduled to flyby the moon in 2025 as part of the Artemis 2 mission.

NASA was not relying on a Japanese billionaire's joyride for their moon landing plans. I saw another article that said part of the reason this got cancelled is NASA took priority for the starship project.
