Dustin from Smarter Every Day posted a video last month of a talk he gave at NASA to Artemis stakeholders. It was absolutely fascinating and illuminated several lessons for any engineering organization's leadership. Highly recommend
He also referred to a publication NASA created after Apollo titled “What made Apollo a Success” which is good reading: https://ntrs.nasa.gov/api/citations/19720005243/downloads/19...
“They gave you the playbook!” Lots of stuff that I’m glad somebody stood up and told the Artemis engineers and managers.
Nevertheless when I saw the Smarter Every Day video the first time the biggest question mark for me was the number of rockets required to reach the moon _once_ [1] There were some other topics from the talk like the cryogenic refueling never done before [2], the orbit around the moon [3]. But for these I cannot evaluate who much of a problem they are.
But more than eight rockets for one flight sounds a lot, even without expertise.
