Well, the Blue Moon Mk1 Cargo will be launched in 2025, will they?

In August it was apparently scheduled for "as soon as March" (https://spacenews.com/nasa-payload-to-fly-on-first-blue-origin-lunar-lander-mission/). They can miss that schedule by a factor of 2 and still launch in 2025 so I voted "yes". This isn't certain though, since over factor of 2 slips are fairly common.

Is the poll about whether it will launch in 2025, or successfully land in 2025?

Even if fail, almost sure will land on the Moon but maybe not in one piece

I'm curious: why are you almost sure the TLI burn will be performed correctly?

I said almost, everything can happen...
