NASA announced more delays Thursday in sending astronauts back to the moon more than 50 years after Apollo.
Administrator Bill Nelson said the next mission in the Artemis program – flying four astronauts around the moon and back – is now targeted for April 2026. It had been on the books for September 2025, after slipping from this year.
The writing has been on the wall. Artemis 2, which should just be a repeat of A1, slipping this much and having a 3+ year gap is pretty ridiculous. A3… I wish they had contracted the lander and suits sooner, because delays for development projects like those are “normal”.
