What is going on with Axion space station being downsized?

What are you talking about?  DO you have any links to news about Axiom downsizing their station plans?

Yes, there are reports indicating that Axiom Space is downsizing some aspects of their space station plans. According to a detailed report from Forbes, Axiom Space has been facing financial difficulties, including struggles to make payroll and delays in payments to contractors like SpaceX. These challenges have led to the downsizing of certain parts of their space station project (1)

Axiom initially aimed to build a commercial low Earth orbit (LEO) space station by attaching modules to the International Space Station (ISS) and eventually detaching to form a free-flying station. However, due to financial constraints and the need to cut costs, they have had to scale back some of these plans (1).

Axiom has published an article (among others) about the specific use of the AxEMU spacesuit in the Artemis programme:

And in an exciting collaboration, Axiom Space and Prada revealed the flight design of the Axiom Extravehicular Mobility Unit (AxEMU) spacesuit to be worn by the first woman to walk on the Moon as part of NASA’s Artemis III mission.
