I think after Artemis 3 they are supposed to have regular annual trips or something happening to the moon. Their window opens on April first but it could be later if they have issues. Here are some NASA livestream links

There is 0 chance that they’ll be able to do “regular annual trips” without changing the architecture. Even if they could support the $4B+ launch cost of SLS + Orion every year, which they can’t, lockmart couldn’t produce enough Orion capsules, Boeing and their contractors couldn’t produce enough SLS cores, Northrop Grumman couldn’t produce enough SRBs and aerojet rocketdyne couldn’t produce RS-25 engines fast enough for even a 1/year launch cadence.
But Elon Musk will produce them by 2024. 2025 at the latest.
He will have a space x mars colony by 2016, trust me bro!
All those monthly launches of Star ship must be getting in the way.
Asking Boeing to speed something up on SLS is equivalent to asking them to kill astronauts violently after giving them more money. Which would lead to a decade-long investigation and redesign, which would certainly slow down the launch schedule.
Didn’t NASA recently say that they won’t be using SLS after Artemis II?
