Mars Sample Return is way to push forward towards Mars and accomplish important science without sacrificing our Moon plans.
The theme of Isaacman's hearing: we can do it all! The moon AND Mars. How with the budget we have? Well NASA has done the "near impossible," he says.

Press conference happening now - sounds like Athena probably tipped on its side when it landed. Intuitive Machines is trying to get pictures from the lander and from orbit to figure out how it's lying, how much power it can get in its solar panels, and whether it can still do any science 🧪🔭

It seems like this is going to be a tough day for the NASA family, but happy fourth landiversary to the Mars 2020 team. Perhaps it's a reminder of what we can do together.

Although first responders were successful in keeping the fire from JPL, over 150 JPLers have lost their homes. Here’s link to the Caltech/JPL disaster relief fund if you’re so inclined: caltech.imodules.com/controls/ema...

Cislunar reduces early year cost (and some versions reduces total cost) and gets back sooner in several scenarios.
