NASA's Artemis III moon landing could be delayed again

NASA's Artemis III crewed moon landing will likely be delayed, the Government Accountability Office said in a recent report. The mission was initially planned for late 2024 or early 2025 but is now delayed until December 2025. The watchdog reports it could be pushed back as far as 2027. CBS News space analyst Bill Harwood discusses the mission.

I'd like to see the government fully fund Artemis, but the criticism isn't fair. Going to the moon is so extremely complicated that if NASA is able to pull it off at any time in the foreseeable future, they've succeeded.

It's not good that NASA is depending on the SpaceX Starship for landing. Starship is a long way from getting near the moon, and they would need to really shake down the vehicle before they could attempt a landing. In Apollo, before landing, they did two flights of the LM before trying to land it on the moon, one flight in Earth orbit and then another flight in the moon's orbit.

My entire adult life NASA has been "planning" to go back to the moon. I realize that NASA's budget is a tiny fraction of what it once was. But I cannot stomach that we literally invented the technology to do this before we even invented the microchip in less than a decade, but now it has been over 18 years since we actually started working on going back, and we still aren't there yet. They already know the math, they already know the physics, and a lot of the new electronics should weigh a tiny fraction of what the old ones did. It is well beyond time to light the candle!

Artemis 2 was only supposed to circle the moon like Apollo 8 with humans onboard. That has nothing to do with SpaceX and Artemis 1 completed it's unmanned mission so these excuses do not make any sense.

There's been six previous moon landing between '69 and '72 . Six !!
Why is the seventh so hard to achieve?? 🤔🤔

[scottjgrant]

It's more difficult than it looks eh? Kubrick was a genius, we just wont be able to fake another landing until we have a filmmaker like him. Gotta delay it

[ktor]

If the first landing was real why don't they do everything that they did the first time this time, I'm sure they wrote it all down somewhere😂😂

[Cheka__]

They landed six times from '69 to '72. NASA must really suck, these days.

[MinusEighty]

50 years ago we went to the moon six times with no delays. Or so they

[Skankhunt-xlfq]

NASA’s budget needs to be increased from 25 billion dollars to 400 billion dollars.

[censorshipBS]

Must be harder to do than in 1969 as Stanley Kubrick is now dead

[RichWeigel]

While I am excited to see this in my lifetime I want it to be a safe moon landing not rushed. So if it takes until 2025 or 2027 then so be it.

It was announced by NASA today, Jan 10, 2024, that the Artemis mission is delayed AGAIN!!! Hey! Who had January in the pool???

[ratm]

If they can’t do it now, what makes you think they did it 50 years ago? 😂

NASA subcontracts the building of all their rockets and spacecraft and satellites. It's been this way going all the way back to the Apollo missions and even before that. This includes the Saturn V, the Space Shuttle, even the US parts of the ISS. The Artemis program will be no different.

I've got 30 years worth of popular mechanics with articles on how we will land on Mars (people)in 2008, 2015, 2023, ect ect if you look at the advances in electronics, metals and everything else, then add up what we've spent on space programs. We should be asking why don't we already have a moon base???

[kylereese]

And they are trying constantly trying to ground Star Ship.... Even the FCC are getting suspicious about the why it`s grounded for long periods from outside forces.

[tedstriker]

Boeing can’t even keep a plan together. How do you expect them to go to the moon? Huge waste of spending.

[yoskarokuto]

(( Google's AI Says Moon Landing Photos/Videos Are Fake )) why space is hard ?

[BimBims]

relax people, they animation and CGI doesn't full rendering

[aaronarmijo]

Next payload should be a moon landing with 3 live humans, a return rocket with fuel, golf clubs and a dune buggy. Just like the good old days. What a fairytale.
