Getting more infrastructure in place sounds great. Intuitive Machines is working on a private Lunar relay satellite network, which NASA really should have already figured out for Artemis. It seems more critical for Mars missions.
I’d love to see what payloads NASA could come up with for the 20 and 1250 kg size. 1250 is enough to pull off Sojourner, Spirit, or Opportunity. Sending one or two of those per window, with modern systems and instruments, would be incredible.
I want CMPS! (camps?)
