White House (J. Foust)

The White House said Feb. 4 it endorsed NASA's Artemis lunar exploration program, but offered no details on budgets or schedules. At a briefing, White House press secretary Jen Psaki noted the Artemis program had "broad and bicameral support in Congress" and that "we support this effort and endeavor." Her comments came after she was asked about the future of Artemis at a briefing Wednesday and responded that she was not familiar with the administration's views on the program. While backing Artemis in general, the White House offered no clues about any potential changes in its budgets, schedules or other aspects.
