NASA has paused its lunar Gateway plan and is now focusing on building a $20 billion moon base. The agency aims for crewed moon landings every six months after the Artemis V mission. Additionally, Comet 41P/Tuttle-Giacobini-Kresák has been observed reversing its spin.
The claims regarding NASA's lunar plans and Comet 41P have been evaluated based on available evidence. NASA has indeed paused its Gateway project to focus on a $20 billion moon base, as confirmed by multiple reliable sources. The plan for crewed moon landings every six months post-Artemis V is less certain, with evidence suggesting regular missions but not confirming the specific frequency. The observation of Comet 41P reversing its spin is well-supported by scientific sources. Overall, the claims are largely accurate, with some uncertainty regarding the frequency of moon landings.

NASA aims for crewed moon landings every six months following the Artemis V mission.
The claim is partially supported by evidence from NASA and ESA, which mention plans for regular missions post-Artemis V. However, the specific frequency of every six months is not explicitly confirmed in the sources, leading to a slightly lower score.
