NASA's flagship program to get people back to the Moon is at risk in the debate over the country's budget.
Why it matters: The Artemis program has survived two presidential administrations and has bipartisan support in Congress.
Both administrations have worked to reduce the political risk of the multibillion-dollar program, awarding multiple contracts to commercial companies in multiple states and partnering with international space agencies.
What's happening: Efforts to insulate Artemis from possible cuts, delays and cancellation are facing a major test with the current budget fight on Capitol Hill.
