NASA Postpones Artemis Moon Missions to 2026 and Beyond
TL;DR Summary
NASA has delayed its Artemis moon missions, with Artemis 2 now set for April 2026 and Artemis 3 for mid-2027, due to additional preparation needed for the Orion capsule. The delay follows issues discovered with the capsule's heat shield after the Artemis 1 mission. Despite these setbacks, NASA aims to launch before China's planned lunar mission by 2030.
