Wow, awesome news. Hopefully this is an indication that NASA is satisfied with the Starship developement milestones thus far.

I think that NASA is happy. It's a very tight timeline for starship and the spacesuits from Artemis, but, despite decades of work and plentiful funding, Orion seems to be the slowest part of the critical path. I think that we'd be hearing a lot of public criticism if SpaceX was dragging the chain.
