Artemis II is scheduled for re-entry to Earth on April 10th. That is when the heat shield issue will be the most dangerous.

If it fails and the mission fails with loss of life while knowing it went ahead despite the IG report about the heat shield... It might be the end of NASA.

Hopefully it will return safely.

If idiots and emotions rein, maybe. Then the centre of gravity for space exploration correctly shifts to Musk and China.
