Starship flight test completed, Gateway Lunar View optimized for SLS

After last weekend's Starship flight test and after another government audit, this video checks in on the mysteries about the Artemis II and III schedules. Elsewhere, changes that almost double the size and weight of the Gateway Lunar View module, which will help refuel the Power and Propulsion Element, were formalized in Italy during the week. We'll dig into the details in the video of how the SLS upgrade allows for that increased capacity.

And in news and notes, we'll talk the resumption of SLS production at Kennedy Space Center and preparations for the EUS Green Run that is somewhere in the future.
