Destin has too much of a Huntsville bias. Listening to old heads wax poetic about Apollo and how things “should be” or whatever then complaining about Starship is totally missing the point of Artemis and the roots of its issues. SLS and Orion couldn’t be much worse if they tried, and NASA was way too late on contracting HLS and suits. And a rover. And a hab. It isn’t SpaceX’s fault that their pie in the sky idea that was RFQ’ed way too late is too big and complicated for what Artemis 3 needs.
