It is best if you read it yourself but here are some interesting parts:
Artemis related:
>Our past work has shown the Artemis campaign’s substantial costs present significant challenges to its long-term sustainability. In 2021, we estimated NASA would spend $93 billion on the Artemis effort by FY 2025. Now at the conclusion of FY 2025, years of additional and substantial funding will be required before NASA achieves its next successful lunar landing. The downstream consequences of continued cost increases and schedule delays across Artemis programs and projects could ultimately compromise the Artemis campaign and NASA’s mission as a whole. Artemis cost increases have continued to take up a large portion of the Agency’s total cost overruns. Of 53 NASA projects recently sampled by the Government Accountability Office, three Artemis projects accounted for almost $7 billion in cost overruns—almost 50 percent of the Agency total.
Cybersecurity related:
>NASA’s Federal Information Security Modernization Act (FISMA) grade over the past 4 years continues to underscore our concerns—scoring IT maturity and overall health below the “managed and measurable” rating the Office of Management and Budget considers effective. NASA’s information security program scored at a level 3 (Consistently Implemented), which means policies, procedures, and strategies were consistently implemented, but quantitative and qualitative effectiveness measures were lacking. FISMA requires NASA to develop, document, and implement agency-wide programs to provide security for the information and information systems that support their mission. In March 2025, the Government Accountability Office reported that NASA had not fully implemented its cybersecurity risk management program for some projects and associated systems. Without a strong risk management program covering the selected systems, NASA faces increased risks that cyber incidents could result in loss of mission data or a decreased lifespan or capability of space systems.
