    A crewed Artemis lunar landing by 31 Dec 2028 looks unlikely: YES probability is 30%. Artemis II shows progress, but the supplied reports do not establish HLS readiness, suit qualification, or a firm landing sequence.

    1. Latest analysis

      Current assessment reflects ongoing challenges and limited HLS/suit readiness.

      The prior 70% headline is revised to 30% YES as an analytical consistency correction, not a new event: unresolved lander testing and suit readiness outweigh Artemis II progress.

      This first assessment assigns YES 30% because Artemis II flight progress is outweighed by unfinished Starship capabilities, suit schedule pressure and an unclear landing sequence.
