I have been awake too long so I am probably stupid. Please have mercy.

I don't understand. NASA says they goal of landing on the moon in 2028 is not realistic.

They are adding a launch in 2027 to do more testing.

Great.

It will be followed by one possibly two lunar landings in 2028. Are the now 2028 landings primarily testing SpaceX integration?

The Artemis rockets are huge, and extremely expensive. And the build time is considerable.

Now they are planning 3 rockets in two years, each of which is not reusable?

Then they have to build those in parallel, which makes sense but incorporating wha you learn in 2027, into rockets you have already nearly finished seems an odd approach
