So SLS planning only goes as far as Artemis V?

After that, there's nothing.

Is the program to accelerate Artemis only meant to get Trump his moon landing as quickly as possible, and just a fancy way to wrap up the SLS shutdown?
The timeline still seems completely unrealistic to me.

Poor NASA. Why are they doing this? So sad. Year after year goes by, and the braggarts have the upper hand.

The UK has experience tucked away somewhere of kerosene/H202 and perhaps that is a smaller jump than #Methalox or the liquid hydrogen engines?

".. erreichte die Oberstufe des Starships erstmals die geplante Umlaufbahn."
Nope. Keine Umlaufbahn erreicht, keine Umlaufbahn geplant.

"Bei früheren Starts war die Trennung beider Stufen noch nicht gelungen."
? Bei IFT1. Bei einem Start.

"Das Starship-System ist die größte und leistungsfähigste Rakete, die je gebaut wurde."
Abgesehen von der Bauhöhe bisher eher nicht.
