The budget has less money, I haven't even checked this years budget, regardless, the next mission takes off when it does.
Yeah. But just the next, and maybe another one for now. I'm not an economist, but I have hopes for the post-ISS era though, which eventually might free additional money, resources and manpower. But that is till at least 6 years in the future.
It's a little bit equal to the post-Apollo era I think. There wasn't enough money to fly Moon landing missions while simultaneously design, build and test the Shuttle in the 70s. So they used remnants of the Apollo program for Skylab and the ASTP flight, followed by a gap of 6 years until STS-1.
Who was suppose to be building a landing craft? There is no budget for this at all?
Like Urwumpe and berrygolden mentioned. More precisely, it will be the Starship HLS.

I read the NASA site daily, so the main missions I checked out are just the Mars rovers. A little slow with all that, not a lot in the findings yet..
I read the NASA website too. But I think
https://www.nasaspaceflight.com provides more in-depth information. The NASA website (and NASA TV) is still a nightmare in terms of public relations imho.
