The White House Artemis Program pushed for the Moon as a cornerstone of human exploration for the next decade or two and to develop a lunar base. The White House program at least tried to include SpaceX and Blue Origin and other companies. The Artemis program still kept the wasteful Boeing Space Launch System.

The Senate bill is in line with the NASA-White House Artemis moon program.

The House and Senate bills will have to be reconciled.

The Senate and White House approach is wasteful. They do not cut the Boeing SLS program. The House bill is even more wasteful as they want to delay going to the moon from 2024 to 2028 and to keep SpaceX and Blue Origin out of the NASA funding.
