This is focused more on NASA's problems with the Artemis program, but I highly recommend reading this article.

Basically the whole Artemis mission plan is riddled with issues, and SpaceX and Blue Origin are required to have major breakthroughs in space refueling tech for their required roles to even be possible. With how many different issues the project has, it looks like the only good thing we may get out of the project is these breakthroughs (if they happen).

@Fubarberry @Buffalox "Smarter Every Day" on Youtube did a talk pointing out the issues with artemis, to a room full of stakeholders.

it was glorious.
